Matisse on the Loose by Georgia Bragg
An aspiring artist's daily routing of being embarrassed by his eccentric family is interrupted when he finds himself in the middle of an art museum fiasco involving Matisse's 1909 portrait of his son Pierre.
My Thoughts - This was a fun, fast-paced story! Matisse has to figure out how to be honest when being dishonest would be so much easier! I think this would be a good read-aloud for 3rd-5th grade classes. The story provides lots of ideas for discussion with students.
