This is a biography about Claude Monet. This is a great biography series on giving background information on famous people. This book would be good to use for an art class when talking about impressionists and his artwork. Also, a great introduction to countries such as talking about the culture of

France. I visited Paris, France and saw his famous water lilies and bridge. Teachers could use their experience with traveling and art history. The best ages again would be 3-6 grade. This is a great book to get students started into writing.

Who Was Claude Monet? by Ann Waldron is a good book about the artist. I love these history books and this one explains how the artist came to paint his unique style. It gets wrapped up a little too much in side issues near the end but it picks back up again.
