Katie and the British Artists Summary

Katie and the British Artists by James Mayhew

Katie just can't decide what she wants to be when she grows up. Perhaps a trip to the gallery to see five famous paintings by world-renowned British artists might give her some ideas? And can she help the shepherd boy from Constable's 'The Cornfield' to round up all those pesky sheep? For over two decades, the Katie series has been bringing art to life for young children. This ninth adventure focuses on much-loved paintings from Turner, Gainsborough, Constable and Stubbs.

Katie and the British Artists Reviews

'James Mayhew's beautifully illustrated Katie and the British Artists not only provides an engaging context within which to introduce children to some of history's most important artists, but is also a great stimulus for exciting cross-curicular work.' Junior Education Plus Mayhew's series has been much imitated but what distinguishes these books from the rest is the painterly sensitivity with which the transition from painting to narrative backdrop is handled.
