description: A little boy visits an art museum for the first time in this fun sweet picture book about first experiences and seeing things from new perspectives.Simon is having a great time at the museum with his parents. There are slippery slidey floors! Pigeons flying around the reflecting pool! And cheesecake in the caf! But theyre not really here for any of that. No Simon has to look at art. And more art. So. Much. Art. Theres so much art that soon Simon needs to take a break and finds somewhere to sit. From his bench he begins to notice how many different people are visiting the museum and the many different ways they react to the art they see. Some people are alone. Some are in groups. Some people smile. Some shake their heads. Some even shed a tear. And Simon is right in the center of it watching until hes inspired to give all the art another try. By the end of the day he may even find a piece that can rival a slice of cheesecake!
