One day Picasso was bitten by a boy, and Picasso... bit him back. This boy was Anthony Penrose, the author of the book. Anthony's family was friends with Picasso, so Tony wanted to talk about his amazing adult friend, who could and knew how to do many interesting things.

We see the great Pablo Picasso through the eyes of a child, we begin to look at his paintings and sculptures in a completely different way, page by page we plunge into an amazing world. We learn about the artist’s family, his surroundings, and hobbies. What seemed strange and absurd begins to come to life and be filled with meaning. We begin to understand the artist, we admire how he knew how to see the interesting and mysterious in simple things. In a broken pot he saw a wonderful little baby, for whom he later also came up with a mother with a stroller. The car became the face of a monkey.
The writer talks about his friend with such warmth and love that it is simply impossible not to fall in love with Picasso.
“For many, many years, Picasso continued to create. When he died - and he was already 91 years old - he left almost TWO THOUSAND paintings, more than SEVEN THOUSAND drawings, more than a THOUSAND sculptures and much, much more. Today he is considered one of the most famous artists in the world... but to me he will always be my most amazing friend, and I hope that he is now a friend to you too."
Dick Bruna: Miffy in the Museum
It used to be that children in museums were bored and uninteresting, all “no”, “don’t touch with your hands”, “don’t make noise”... Fortunately, the situation is changing. Museum workers are trying to keep up with their Western colleagues and are adopting best practices in organizing exciting museum quests, interactive games, lectures, seminars and other “artistic and educational gadgets” that are gradually returning museums to their lost popularity among the younger generation.
Parents should also help their kids a little. The feeling of beauty is inherent in them from birth. There is a lot in common between an artist and a child. You just need to leave them alone more often...
Kids will find this book about Miffy interesting. Together with the little rabbit Miffy we will find ourselves in the museum. Why not explore different pieces of art?
