Audience Member "Linnea in Monet's Garden" is the animated version of Lena Anderson's and Christina Bjork's children's book. It introduces children to the fascinating field of art appreciation. Linnea is a Swedish girl who loves to browse through the art books owned by her neighbor Mr. Bloom. She is especially fascinated by the Claude Monet garden paintings and wishes she could see the actual garden and paintings. Before they know it, Linnea and Mr. Bloom are on their way to France, where they visit both the museum which holds Monet's paintings as well as the beautifully landscaped Monet garden. This DVD is part animation, part still life, and also actual video footage of the garden. The colors can be a bit muted, not as vivid and bright (and garish) as some recent animated features but it is an engaging feature nevertheless. I think young children need to be accompanied by parents or a teacher when watching this as some parts may require explanation. I watched this with my 4.5 year-old and she had plenty of questions for me throughout the presentation. A great way to cultivate art appreciation in children!
