About this title

Synopsis

Young readers can immerse themselves in the beauty of Monet's garden as they follow along with this tale of a lively little tree frog!

While Antoinette the tree frog is napping, the painter Monsieur Claude loses his hat in the breeze. Adventure unfolds when a magpie snatches the hat. Part of the First Steps in Art series, this whimsical tale introduces toddlers to fine art and the works of Claude Monet. The water lily painting Nymphéas, effet du soir, invites young readers to discover it at the Marmottan Museum and take a walk in the painter's garden in Giverny! Water lilies and tree frogs await you there.

Each book in the First Steps in Art series aims to spark an early interest in toddlers for the world of fine art from famous paintings to ancient figurines and includes a short lesson in art history.
