Welcome to Art Appreciation August! All month long, we tell tales about famous works of art on display in New York City museums. This week, explore Paul Klee's work and read The Cat and the Bird. Then, use Klee’s painting Red Balloon—on view at the Guggenheim Museum—to inspire your own geometric collages!
The Cat and the Bird written by Geraldine Elschner, illustrated by Peggy Nille, 2012.
