These were both great picture books and we learned so much. I love picture books about real events and people. The girls absolutely loved the one about the Mona Lisa. They really enjoy anything about artists and know quite a bit about da Vinci.The Do Re Mi book was fascinating. I had never even thought about how musical notation began. The girls were also intrigued by the collage illustrations. My 7 yo commented on how the Title Page looked like paper and I explained about collage. I had to explain how the illustrator has the original and then it is copied for the book. Maybe I should look for some books and cd's of Gregorian chant. This book is a nice introduction to musical notation and chant.
