In the fairy tale 'Dwarf Nose,' strange and wonderful things happen on every page—just like in the paintings of René Magritte. Dreams and visions, metamorphoses and transformations, miracles and mysteries—what better plot than one of the master of surrealism's paintings? Immerse yourself with the fairy tale's characters in Magritte's amazing world, where a faceless man in a suit and bowler hat soars in the sky, baguettes sometimes rain, and a nose suddenly turns into a tablespoon in a bowl of soup.

Compare the pictures from the book with the original works of the great master, look for similarities and spot differences, discuss the color palette and characteristics of the era. You don't need to be an art historian to do this; just be captivated by the fairy tale and the illustrations.

In addition to the book, you will find a free virtual VoiceBook Museum. Just point your camera at the QR code. In the museum hall, you can approach the paintings, look at them, and listen to an audio guide developed by an art historian especially for children!
