“Nolan’s sensitive watercolor illustrations make each portrait in the museum a definite character in the story.  An original.”

Booklist

“The disarming tale brings 17th century art to life in an original manner that’s much abetted by Nolan’s straightforwardly realistic paintings, which catch their piquancy in an appealingly informal style.  Share this pre-museum treat with the art teacher.”

Kirkus Reviews

“Hats off to Nolan for his thorough research and credible renderings of paintings in the style of artists ranging from Rembrandt to Picasso.”

Publisher’s Weekly

“This lighthearted story is deftly told and handsomely illustrated, adding a dimension of familiarity and human interest to the sometimes intimidating atmosphere of a great art museum.”
