Linnea in Monet's Garden Reviews:
Linnea's World 
2009-11-05 - I purchased this book for my daughter and the doll a number of years ago. She loved the story. What was really amazing is that we had an opportunity to visit Paris and then to Monet's Garden. My daughter followed the trail of the book. The author used actual places. We found the small hotel with the portrait of Esmeralda dancing. It is across from Notre Dame. The old tree was there. We finally made the journey to Monet's home and Garden in the Normandy region. It was better than I could have imagined. I recommend the trip to anyone. The house, the flowers, the flowers, the flowers with the bridge and pond. I was amazed at the interweaved willow branch lining on the banks of the stream to prevent erosion. Buy the book and perhaps a dream will come true.
Linnea in Monet's Garden 
2009-10-26 - I bought this book for my granddaughter to accompany a small doll I had bought while visiting Monet's home and garden back in 2001. The book was educational in regard to how he painted as well as entertaining. It was a little long for a 7 and 1/2 year old but she still seemed to enjoy it.
A Wonderful Book
2009-09-05 - When I was in elementary school, I used to check this book out of the library weekly. I absolutely adored it and still do...It is a great introduction to art and in addition, a look into travel and culture appreciation.
Some of the pictures in this book have stuck with me for years, especially the transition of Monet's Japanese Bridge painting from 1899-1923 when he'd lost most of his eyesight due to cataracts.
If you're looking for a charming book to introduce the idea of art to your children, or you specifically enjoy Monet, this is a great purchase.
Another favorite children's book in our home
2008-10-10 - This book is one of my little girl's favorite books and it was a great introduction to Monet for the entire family. Our children also enjoyed the DVD version.
Delightful
2007-10-19 - This is a delightful living book. An opportunity to learn a lot about Monet, his work and his life while enjoying a beautifully told story.
