Katie’s very first adventure is the now classic story of a visit to the National Gallery – where five famous paintings come alive. Her adventures take in Constable’s Hay Wain, Rousseau’s Surprised!, and Renoir’s Umbrellas!
“Can there be a better way of bringing the world of art and the classic masterpieces alive for children than the charming Katie series? This particular story is the one that started it all twenty five years ago and this celebratory issue has been beautifully re-illustrated by James Mayhew… This lovely picture book is gentle, good fun and a simply brilliant way of encouraging children to use their imaginations and to gain the confidence to explore art themselves. It would be invaluable in schools as a teacher resource but would make a lovely present for a child too.” – The Book Bag.
