Books with title Lost In The Museum

When I see a work of art, something happens in my heart! As a little girl tours and twirls through the halls of the art museum, she finds herself on an exciting adventure. Each piece of art evokes something new inside of her: silliness, curiosity, joy, and ultimately inspiration. When confronted with an empty white canvas, she is energized to create and express herself―which is the greatest feeling of all. With exuberant illustrations by Peter H. Reynolds, The Museum playfully captures the many emotions experienced through the power of art, and each child’s unique creative process. Praise for The Museum "Verde and Reynolds deliver a simple premise with a charming payoff… this “twirly-whirly” homage to a museum is, on balance, a sweet-natured and handsome celebration." ―Kirkus Reviews "Debut author Verde makes an engaging case for understanding art as an experience rather than an object." ―Publishers Weekly "The rhymed text captures the excitement of a being sparked by art.” ―Booklist "Communicates a fresh, playful, childlike perspective on art and normalizes childlike responses to it. The idea that posing, laughing, and curious questions are all appropriate museum behavior may be a new one for both children and parents, and knowing this is sure to make for more enjoyable museum visits." ―School Library Journal "For parents who have trouble communicating the excitement of art to their children, The Museum can serve as the starting point for a conversation. The book is also a wonderful reminder of visual art’s power to encourage and empower self-expression. Children and adults will finish this book excited about their next art experience, and perhaps tempted to dance through the halls of a museum in the near future." ―Bookpage "This playful picture book pays tribute to the joyous effect art can have on the viewer." ―Shelf-Awareness

She held me tight and I knew that things happen for a reason… Love never ends. Sometimes, we think we are obeying the rules perfectly and we are wrong. But our tiny minds think differently than that of a grown-up’s mind. That is what childhood is all about. We are learning to trust that which we don’t understand at times. Even grown-ups don’t understand it all. Yet, we are learning lessons, lucky to live a lively and lavish life. And, yes, GG’s rules are so important. I must remember to obey them all of the time. GG knows best.

Lost in the Mess follows the escapades of Eric and his imaginative, fun family as Eric's messy room gets more and more ridiculously messy and silly. His baby sister Sally loves the mess, but Eric is the only one who can go in and come out of his room - and then their home - without getting lost. Even a vacuum salesman, who claims he can handle anything and parachutes down through a hole in the ceiling, gets lost in the mess. Don't call the fire department! Only Eric can clean this mess! Creativity, imagination and growth usually create a bit of a mess, but, as Eric knows, a little order is necessary at times, too.
