Touch the Art: Make Van Gogh’s Bed (Touch the Art)

Make a big impression with these popular 19th century pieces of art. Tidy-up Van Gogh’s bed. Touch the flowers in Monet’s The Water Lily Pond: Green Harmony. Pull on the tulle tutu of Degas’ Prima Ballerina. Or cuddle the gauzy netting over Berthe Morisot’s The Cradle. Let your fingers do the walking through the Impressionist movement.

Customer Review: Touch the Tutu

This book has it all. Three of the five senses anyway are engaged - sight, sound, and touch.

What do we see?

Art - great art. Masterpieces of Monet, Degas, Renoir, Cezanne, and, of course Van Gogh. Each spread introduces a famous canvas. Each one is a feast for young eyes. And older ones too…

What do we feel?

Each reproduction has a tactile area that all will want to touch. Scratchy sandpaper in Cassatt’s Children on the Beach. Silky peach fuzz in Still Life with Peaches and Cherries by Cezanne. And of course a frilly tutu in L’Etoile by Edgar Degas.

What do we hear?

Rhythmic rhymes alongside each painting take us through a day at the beach.

It begins with Van Gogh’s bedroom at Arles -

Wake up!

Good morning sleepy head.

It’s time to make your messy bed.

It ends with The Starry Night, also by Van Gogh.

It’s dark outside.

Stars are shining bright.

Pull up your covers

and say good night!

Courtlynn, age 14 months, gives it a strong endorsement.
