CIP Info On a hot day, Katie and her grandmother visit the art museum, where Katie climbs into the paintings of pointillist artists Seurat, Pisarro, and Signac. Includes information about pointillism. This author/illustrator does a great job of making are enjoyable and accessible to a younger audience. Katie takes a trip through the art museum and visits each of the Pointillists. She goes swimming in one but then floods the museum. The author includes backgrounds on the artists from the book. This is an interesting concept. I would like to see more from this series.
