Katie and the Mona Lisa

The Katie series by James Mayhew is a wonderful introduction to the art world for children. My grandson aged 8, came home from school one day and asked to go to the National Gallery! When I asked him why, he explained he wanted to see Whistlejacket by Stubbs and some other paintings by Turner, Constable and Gainsborough, that he had read about. This enthusiasm was thrilling to see, only equaled by our day out in London to the National Gallery to find the paintings he had read about. I have since bought the whole series for him and Katie and Mona Lisa was another brilliant read.

Areally great book , this whole series are wonderful to introduce babies and toddlers...and anyone older!...to art galleries and artists

Bought this in preparation for our toddler’s first trip to Paris as we planned to bring her to the Lourve. She loves the story and made her excited to see the famous smile of Mona Lisa.

bought the 'very good' second hand book but the condition was only 'good' at best. still, the book itself is very good, great first introduction to art and my son loved it

Very beautifully illustrated. Love Katie series

Present

Happy with the book and the time it took to arrive. Given as gift to child who had met the author and loves his books. Successful gift.

A great fusion of fiction and education in a wonderful small adventure. My Daughter loves this when I read it to her.

My kids LOVE this book and asked for others after we read it. Great way to introduce some well known art to kids.

The best of the series. My daughter loves them all.

Really great work. There are four world famous paintings in this book and the spirits of the paintings are introduced in such a simple and interesting way. Really wonderful children book. I want to buy all from the same series.

My 5 year son really enjoyed the book, it tells us about Italians artists so he is learning while reading another Katie aventure around the museum.

名画を身近に感じるようにとても工夫されている。子供たちに特に意識せずに名画を紹介出来る良い方法だと思う。
