Katie discovers the great British artists Turner, Gainsborough and Constable in the magical art adventure, including steam trains, battleships and a great galloping horse!
“Katie just can’t decide what she wants to be when she grows up. Perhaps a trip to the gallery to see five famous paintings by world-renowned British artists might give her some ideas? And can she help the shepherd boy from Constable’s ‘The Cornfield’ to round up all those pesky sheep?” (five stars) – Toppsta.
“Mayhew’s series has been much imitated but what distinguishes these books from the rest is the painterly sensitivity with which the transition from painting to narrative backdrop is handled”. – Martin Salisbury – Books For Keeps
