You Can't Take a Balloon Into the Museum of Fine Arts | Jacqueline Preiss Weitzman

1 post | 1 read | 2 to read

Life parallels art in this madcap romp through the historical environs of Boston and the renowned Museum of Fine Arts. This irresistible companion to "You Can't Take a Balloon Into The Metropolitan Museum" and "You Can't Take a Balloon Into The National Gallery" begins when a little girl visits the museum's treasures and her balloon gets loose. Floating past Paul Revere House, Fenway Park, Trinity Church, and other landmarks, the balloon's adventures seem to mirror the paintings and sculpture the girl is admiring. Thirty-three past and present legends of Boston (such as Louisa May Alcott, Bill Russell, and Ted Williams) are hidden within the illustrations, and their bios are included. "You Can't Take a Balloon Into The Museum of Fine Arts" is once again "an introduction to art, a dandy puzzle, and an imaginative guide."

#AugustIsATrip Day 20: These wordless #Museum books are a real trip, this one being a part of a series including the Metropolitan Museum & the National Gallery. Cast of characters remains the same: a willful balloon, a gorgeous museum, our sweet little girl and her younger brother, the doting grandmother, and the sister-team of Jacqueline Preiss Weitzman and Robin Preiss Glasser (author and artist of the book respectively). https://wp.me/pDlzr-1gz
