The Starry Night Paperback – August 1, 2010

I liked the large Van Gogh style: the contrasting colors, the bright perspective and vibrating views. The book reminds me of the film: Finding Vincent!

The Illustrations in this book are beautiful! The story of a New York City boy meeting Vincent in Central Park and traveling around the city is beautifully detailed in Vincentesque technique. Both children and adults will enjoy this book.

This book is a beautiful story of the burrows of NYC told with mystery and wonder through art. I would recommend it to anyone with a love of art to share with a child. I am using it as a art teacher to read to children.

love it

Waldman has written a wonderful book for kids. Creative, out of the box, beautifully illustrated, I buy it for gifts for my nieces and nephews, in my opinion Walman's best!

The music arrived on time and in excellent condition. It is exactly as promised in the listing and is a beautiful piece of music.

I bought this for our grandson who lives in New York City and loves to go to the museums and especially likes this painting. He loved it!

Young Bernard comes across an old and frail looking artist painting in New York's Central Park, and is entranced. He sits in the grass and watches the man as the canvas is transformed into the dazzling reflecting pool and surrounding area. "The Big Apple never looked better!" As the painter packs his things, Bernard introduces himself. "Where are you going?" Bernard asked. "To find another place that asks to be painted." And so Bernard joins him and takes Vincent all over New York City, to Harlem, the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, Greenwich Village, Chinatown, Times Square, and Fifth Avenue... "Everywhere they went, Bernard watched as Vincent painted New York in bright and beautiful colors." Finally it is time for Vincent to leave New York and move on. But before he goes, he takes Bernard to see something very special on the second floor of the Museum Of Modern Art..... Neil Waldman has written a marvelous and inspiring fantasy that takes youngsters on a "Van Gogh" adventure through New York City. Mr Waldman's simple and gentle text takes a back seat to both his charming pen and ink story illustrations, and ingenious Van Gogh-styled, bold and bright New York scenes. Together word and art transports the reader on an evocative and entertaining journey with one of the great masters. Perfect for budding artists 4-8, The Starry Night is an engaging feast for the eyes; a portrait of the artist, his work and his unique style.
