In this delightful introduction to the art of Henri Rousseau children explore a tropical jungle while they learn about the colors and themes that make the artists paintings masterpieces of deceptive simplicity.

This book draws children into Rousseaus most famous works, pointing out the many elements and symbols he incorporated, and helping them understand the use of perspective and color that were his trademarks. Biographical information reveals the importance the natural world played in Rousseaus life and the playful text encourages further investigation into the power of imagination and creativity.
