Where Katie goes, disaster strikes! This story explores the post-impressionists, Gauguin, Van Gogh and Cezanne as their pictures come alive for Katie in this colourful adventure.
“Mayhew accomplishes the remarkable feat of keeping his own style, with its vivacious line and cheery colors, while echoing the manner of others. The “others” in this case mean Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Cézanne, and Katie once again travels inside the paintings when a rainy day sends her and her grandmother to the museum… The desire to be in a painting is played with a winsome freshness: not only are these famous art works made accessible to young readers, but Mayhew captures post-Impressionist impasto and rich color effortlessly.” – Kirkus Reviews.
