Friday we went to the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art. It is a small, lovely museum that my rambunctious boys could tolerate for about two hours this time around.
In the theater we saw Sylvester and the Magic Pebble.
In the art studio the kids explored Thick and Thin (my kids' favorite spot.)
In the library, with the hundreds of hardcover picture books for all to read, we listened to two books during story hour.
The art galleries have one room dedicated to Eric Carle with a fun picture scavanger hunt fot the kids. The second room featured the Golden Age of Children's Illistration: Kate Greenway, Jessie Wilcox Smith, Ernest H. Shepard, and more. I even picked up a Kate Greenway poetry book at a used bookstore on the way home. |
