Erika's Reviews > Seeking Cézanne: a Children’s Mystery Inspired by Paul Cézanne and Other Artists

Accessible art history for kids. This short story finds two siblings on a trip to their local art museum. Everything turns around though when they accidentally step inside a painting. To return to the museum, they must find an artist, in this case Cezanne, to go back. To find Cezanne they must learn about his artistic style.

The story is a fun idea, but seemed mostly educational to me. There was no real adventure included, and that felt like a big miss. So, this might be a fun supplement to an art class, but my kids wouldn't enjoy this for bedtime reading.

Images of the artworks mentioned are included throughout, which is quite helpful, but also means that each Kindle page is uploaded as an image. As a result, text cannot be highlighted and is quite small in places.
