In Katie and the Sunflowers, Katie reaches into Van Gogh's masterpiece and sets off a chain of post-impressionist chaos, while Katie and the Impressionists sees her tumbling through paintings by Monet, Renoir and friends. Katie and the Starry Night, Katie and the Waterlily Pond and Katie and the Bathers each open the door to another iconic artwork, weaving real paintings and painters into charming, funny stories. Beyond the gallery, Katie In London and Katie's London Christmas tour the capital's most famous landmarks with an unusual guide, while Katie in Scotland swaps city streets for lochs and castles. Katie and the Spanish Princess adds royal adventure inspired by Spanish court portraiture, and Katie and the Dinosaurs detours into prehistory at the museum. Each story is written in Mayhew's warm, accessible style and paired with his own detailed illustrations, ideal for reading aloud or independent reading practice. Every book stands alone, so the collection works equally well read in order or dipped into again and again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTen complete Katie paperback adventures in one great-value gift set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces children to famous artists, paintings and landmarks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten and illustrated by acclaimed author-illustrator James Mayhew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for read-aloud time, early independent readers and school art topics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA lovely birthday or Christmas present for imaginative 3-8 year olds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback copies, ready to enjoy straight away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJames Mayhew is a British author and illustrator, raised in the Suffolk village of Blundeston.
