Katie is an enjoyable child, willing to explore anything - and if her visit to the National Gallery means trying to gather up sunflowers from van Gogh's painting, then we enter the adventure with her! A wonderful way to introduce a child to some of the pictures in the National Gallery - which are extremely well reproduced - and make it all great fun. The adventure is lively, introduces several pictures by different artists, and is a real delight. ~One of the favourite bedtime books with our family - girls and boys both.

My 4 year old son adores this book, its funny and educational and entertaining. I have just ordered several others in the series as i am tired of reading just this one twice a day. The story has prompted os many discussions about art, France, seeds and plants and imagination and magic.
