Reseña del editor
When Lizzie and her baby brother Ben visit the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum with their father, they experience more than the world-class art on view. After taking an elevator to the top of Frank Lloyd Wright's famed rotunda, Dad is distracted by an e-mail and Lizzie is startled when she comes face to face with Roy Lichtenstein's giant growling dog. Lizzie accidentally lets go of Ben's stroller, and then leads a madcap chase down the spiral, with help from a museum guard, a teacher, students, and people with earphones listening to an audio tour.This imaginative tale leads readers on a madcap adventure through the Solomon Guggenheim Museum in New York. Masterpieces of modern and contemporary art in brilliant reproduction do more than decorate the pages - they inspire the action of the story and encourage an imaginative approach to viewing art. Colorful illustrations by Sophy Naess bring to life Frank Lloyd Wright's famous spiral and create a beautiful backdrop for art historian Deborah Goodman Davis' story.
Nota de la solapa
One sunny Sunday, Lizzie and her baby brother Ben visit the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City with their father. They take the elevator to the top floor and begin walking down the ramp to look at the art. After an e-mail distracts the dad and Lizzie comes face-to-face with a giant growling dog, the stroller begins speeding down the spiral with Baby Ben. And a quiet museum trip turns into a madcap chase, with Lizzie in the lead, followed by a museum guard, an artist, a teacher and her students, people with earphones and a tourist.This imaginative story by Deborah Goodman Davis, coupled with colorful and lively illustrations by Sophy Naess, brings to life not only Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece of modern architecture but encourages children and adults to see for themselves the Bourgeois, Brancusi, Cezanne, Chagall, Giacometti, Gonzalez-Torres, Kandinsky, Lichtenstein, Miro, Picasso, and Warhol paintings and sculptures featured in this book, along with the many other great works of art in the Guggenheim collection.
