Linnea is going to France! The little girl will travel with her neighbor, old Mr. Bloom, to visit the house and garden where the great artist Monet lived. She can't wait to see the waterlily pond-the scene of her favorite painting. Join Linnea and Mr. Bloom on a journey full of wonderful sights and adventures. They begin their days in France at a Paris museum, where they see Monet's paintings. Taking the train to Giverny, where the artist lived, they spend hours in the colorful garden. And Linnea finally walks across the Japanese bridge at the pond that shimmers in so many of Monet's works. An international best-seller, Linnea in Monet's Garden is a joyous introduction to Impressionism and the life of one of the most influential artists of this century. Although written for young readers, listeners of all ages will enjoy this delightful audio production, lyrically narrated by Christina Moore.

      This is a travelogue for the 12-year-old girl. The destination is Paris, France, and the venue is the life, environs and art of French Impressionist painter Claude Monet. Linnea, a flower lover, is invited by her neighbor, Mr. Bloom, to travel with him to Paris, which she does. There is much biographical information about Monet, and also about Impressionism itself. Two voices occur on the tape. Christina Moore's Linnea is a clearly enunciated voice, sounding about the right age; her French pronunciation is quite good, too. Another voice, perhaps a teacher or Linnea's mother, fills in some information at the end. This is simple, low-key and engaging. D.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
