Katie and the Impressionists

I love James Mayhew's Katie stories, they are lovely to read and lovely to look at. A wonderful way of encouraging an interest in art, and in making stories as enjoyable for parents to read as they are for children to listen to.

Beautiful little book, great introduction to art!

Amazing book, beautiful illustrations, very much enjoyed by my daughters.

Lovely item, quick delivery

Very nice. My 2,5 year old daughter loved it

Love those Katie books&so does my 7-year old. Such good quality&lovely adventures.

'Learning without realising'! This time the 5 great masterpieces are: ~ 'The Luncheon' ~ 'The Field With Poppies' .... by Claude Monet ~ 'A Girl With a Watering Can' ~ 'Her First Evening Out' ... by Pierre-Auguste Renoir ...along with... ~ 'The Blue Dancers', by Edgar Degas From the back cover: ~'Join Katie as she steps into some of the most famous paintings in the world for an exciting art adventure. Katie would love to give Grandma a bunch of flowers for her birthday ~ but just where will she find the perfect bouquet? If only she were able to gather some flowers from the beautiful paintings in the gallery...' The READ SAMPLE above gives an idea of the content, too.

I always loved the impressionists and by reading this book to my daughter it made me crave to know more about the genius, Claude Monet. Can’t find a book more inspiring considering it’s written for kids and it even inspires adults.

Katie collection by James Mayhew is worth to keep in your shelf for your kids. It’s Katie’s adventure to the museum, meeting a lot of painting characters and also their painter. I found the price of this book is cheaper from Amazon than the other websites.

Goes well with an Impressionism unit.

We study great artists as part of our homeschool curriculum and we absolutely LOVE the Katie series!! Highly recommend! My daughter loves looking at fine art and these stories bring the art to life!

El libro, como toda la serie, es precioso, con ilustraciones muy bonitas y la principal idea - una niña que va al museo y entra en los cuadros - una manera muy ingeniosa de introducir los más pequeños a mirar los cuadros. Antes de ir al Museo del Prado está bien leer a los pequeños "Katie and the Spanish Princess", para el Musée d'Orsay en París este mismo. Diría que es para 3-6 años, pero se disfruta de estos libros también fuera de este rango. Está en inglés.

Sweet story, we love this series. A great, gentle introduction to the concept of Impressionism and artists for children.
