Usually I have to find a book that either appeals to my son or my daughter. In this case, both of my children loved The Hare with the Pearl Earring. Neither child knew much about the original painting (The Girl with the Pearl Earring), but they were equally interested to learn more about Vermeer and his art after reading Henny the Hare's adventure. There were great true tidbits thrown in, along the way. My kids were fascinated to learn that some art historians think that the Mona Lisa may have actually been the artist Da Vinci, himself.  It was a combination of the wonderful art, the adventure, and the entertaining true facts that kept my kids engaged and mesmerized from beginning to end. This is a truly worthwhile read. It opens the doors to great storytelling and culture.
