Simon is visiting a museum with his parents. After reminding him to use his inside voice, Simon is interested in the art, but there is just so much of it. Soon, all he wants is cheesecake and a rest. So, when his parents let him hang out on a bench, Simon start people watching. He notices how many different ways people look at art. Maybe there's more to see than just art at a museum.
What a delightful book! I loved that the art was original (no Blue Boy or David) so it could be any museum. A great introduction for a small child (or even a class) about what is appropriate at a museum. Simon was adorable.
