Meeting Cezanne by Michael Morpurgo - OPTIONAL

Morpurgo, Michael Meeting Cezanne, unpaged.  Candlewick, 2013.  $16.  

A young boy is working in his aunt and uncle’s restaurant in Southern France, but make s a huge mistake when he throws away a tabletop drawing by a very famous visitor.  He will do whatever he wants to in order to make his mistake good.  

Adults seem to be fascinated with this little book – much more than any child would be.  Why would Yannick’s relatives never use the name of the famous painter for the month that Yannick is there?  I just found it odd.  Buy this for an adult who might enjoy the artwork, but don’t bother with buying this for children.  GIFT – OPTIONAL.  Cindy, Library Teacher
