Publisher's Summary:
Who doesn't love art? Simon and Sophie, that's who.
The cousins ditch their class tour of the museum because art is BORING. But, while exploring all the rooms and corridors on their own, they enter a world of mystery and suspense. This fantasy audiobook for the seven to 10-year-old takes Simon and Sophie on a personalized tour of the museum by one of its sculptures. Arthur, who was turned to stone with his grandfather years ago, comes to life when the cousins enter the room his exhibit is in. After Simon and Sophie recover from the shock, Arthur shows them all the wonders the museum holds. But once the tour is over, he has to go back into the sculpture. Just before he freezes in place, he tells the cousins what they can do to help him and his grandfather become alive again - and stay alive.

An Engaging Story in Pictures & Words
The story told herein is not standard kid's fare. There is a full plot and narrative, with all of the elements of a written story, yet enhanced visually. The dialogue between Simon and Sophie is realistic and involved, so the reader is not just looking over a couple of sentences on the page, it takes you by the hand and guides one along the path these two cousins take on their adventure in the museum.
The plot unfolds then as the two characters wander on their own tour through an incredibly fascinating art collection the museum houses, until they encounter a very 'special' one who teaches them more about art and life than any the tour guide could have provided.
Full of humor, sadness, and infused with a love of art and a desire to spread that love to the world, but only as it can and needs to be distinguished between 'real' art & 'Kitsch.' Visual arts, music, literature-- all are championed herein. This is a book that will be sure to leave a lasting impression upon the reader -really of any age- and I don't doubt it will foster an appreciation of art for life.
It certainly did so in myself. Additionally, there's a concise dictionary of terms at the end, a glossary provided, and a brief quiz and activities. Very comprehensive & highly recommended. Particularly for schools, or students on an individual level.
