This summer, the Jean Outland Chrysler Library staff was excited to add a new collection for young visitors to the Museum. Our brand-new children’s book collection focuses on books about art and artists, but also features some familiar titles – such as Maurice Sendak’s Where The Wild Things Are. Last week online art journal ARTINFO.com writer Emma Allen listed the top 11 Classic Children’s Art Books [
here ] and I was excited to see that our fledgling collection already contains more than half of the books listed! Among the books from our collection that are included in the list are:
•
From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by
E.L. Konigsburg
•
Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh
•
Linnea in Monet’s Garden by Cristina Bjork
• The
Uncle Andy Books by James Warhola
•
Action Jackson by Jan Greenberg and Sandra Jordan
See an old favorite or a title you’d like to read – stop by, this collection’s for young minds of all ages!
