Hare with the Pearl Earring is a fun introduction to the world of art!Hare with the Pearl Earring is a delightful reading experience from a creative and artistic standpoint. It is a must read for those who want to introduce their child to the beauty of art and the Masters. The title is based on Vermeer's  The Girl with a Pearl Earring.  In this fun adventure all of the artists are actually animals. There's Vincent Van Crow, Dove Vinci,  and Andy Warthog, to name a few.  The book is  clever and fun--the illustrations  extremely well done.  My kids were engaged in the story and learned a lot about the artists along the way. There are icons on each artist's page that can be clicked to reveal little known facts about the original paintings. This story has a classic old world charm with a modern day appeal.
