Where is the Frog?: A Children's Book Inspired by Claude Monet (Children's Books Inspired by Famous Artworks)

Lovely pictures - of course: they're Monet's - and idea but I was very disappointed. First of all I thought a page was missing as there was no introduction to Antoinette the frog or to explain her mission to be in a picture. I think it is meant for fairly young children but I found the language contrived and inappropriate - would they know what a muse, nymph or gargoyle were? Also about the last third of the book is simply about Monet, with probably little interest for small children - certaijnly no "fun". I tried at first reading the text as poetry but soon realised there was no rhythm or rhyme.From the description, and a mention of "Where's Wally" in another review, I hoped it would involve a search on every page for a frog in various Monet pictures. (I remember Richard Scarry's Trucks and Things that Go with a search for Goldbug in every single busy page which my, now grown-up, sons absolutely loved - they still look at it when they are home to see if they can remember where Goldbug is! I could never get rid of it!)This book could have used many of Monet's pictures each with a frog to find and perhaps other things to notice so that children could learn to "look at" and enjoy art, plus a fun story. An opportunity missed.I have given it 2 stars - for the actual presentation of the book, and Monet's paintings.I bought it for my son (a long-time frog fan!) to read to his young daughters but have returned it as it is definitely not worth the postage to them in Hong Kong. Thank you Amazon for making returns so easy.
