[LIT] Art Short Stories

[Melanie Davis]

I just used the wordless picture book, You Can't Take a Balloon into the 
National Gallery in my class. (There are a few books in this series) There 
are pictures of real pieces of art on the pages and I loved how the action 
in the story could also be portrayed in the art work. My kids really enjoyed 
it!

There is also another book, and I can't think of the title, about an art 
thief and the reader has to look at the art and try and figure out the 
mystery. I think I received that book from Scholastics.
