Brush Mona Lisa's Hair by Julie Appel and Amy Guglielmo
This is part of the "touch the art" series of board books from Sterling Publishing Company. I saw the series at a trade show and decided they'd be a nice addition to the library's collection. When this one arrived, I read through it, and then had a good laugh at Vermeer's "Girl with a pearl earring." I believe the earring is supposed to be a drop style, but in the book, it looks as though there's a floating plastic pearl on the girl's neck. Immediately I showed it to a co-worker and she said, "Hmm. Girl with a pearl...", at that point, I jumped in with, "goiter." Of course, I can no longer look at the painting, book or movie by that title without giggling.
