Mona Lisa gets millions of visitors from all over the world. But one night, she hears footsteps, and before she knows it, she's ripped right off the wall of the Louvre! Who would do such a thing?Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Knapp takes a clever approach and tells it from point of view of
the painting. A terrific way to teach children about its origins,
Leonardo and his techniques. McElmurry's fancifully adorned art matches
the droll reverent tone of the story.” —Booklist
“Engaging, rhythmic-but-not-rhyming text fuses deliciously with
McElmurry's marvelous artwork—its decorative style, skewed head angles,
strong lines and rich gouache colors…A gem.” —Kirkus Reviews
“An entertaining introduction to the world of art history as well as to this particular painting.” —Horn Book
