Pish, Posh, Said Hieronymus Bosch

Reach for this book when your child's imagination feels a little too big for the house, or when they are struggling to appreciate the messy, eccentric beauty of creative expression. This rhythmic, rhyming tale introduces the legendary painter Hieronymus Bosch through the eyes of his frustrated housekeeper, who is fed up with the fantastical monsters and bizarre creatures that follow the artist into every corner of their home. It is a whimsical exploration of the thin line between genius and madness, and the importance of accepting the quirks of the people we love. While it touches on themes of frustration and order versus chaos, it ultimately celebrates the wonder of seeing the world through a different lens. It is a perfect choice for kids who love detailed 'seek and find' style illustrations and for parents looking to introduce art history in a humorous, accessible way.
