How do you sell Bruegel to children?
How can you make them look twice at his paintings? It's like serving
them broccoli. Give it to them straight and few will clean their plate.
But they're likely to spoon it up, if you mash it with a good story. A Finger in the Pie begins with a bombshell. In Bruegel's painting The Peasant Wedding
a plate of pie goes missing from the large tray two men carry around.
Nobody knows the perpetrator is a boy who can get into Bruegel's works.
His adventures bring the paintings back to life.
