Appealing and imaginative mini-introduction to Art History * Bournemouth Daily Echo *

 

Katie is engaging, mischievous, adventurous and playful ... a great book to read aloud * The Bookbag *

 

The illustrations are mini-masterpieces and bring the story to life beautifully * Families (Bristol) *

 

The formula for Katie's entry into the world of each painting is never forced and the author manages to maintain a balance between pastiche ad personal visual language through a genuine empathy with the formal qualities of the paintings * Books For Keeps *

 

A fantastic read with fabulous illustrations * Kid Around *
