 The Katie books are a magnificant way to introduce art...
I have been using the Katie books for the last couple of weeks with my preschool daughter. She enjoys the books and loves to make up stories and ask multitudes of questions about all of the painting characters. We have been really pleased with the Katie books as our "art appreciation" curriculum. The way that the people in the paintings come to life helps her to think more deeply about what the people are doing and what the artist is trying to capture.
Wonderful introduction to the art world
My mother bought this book for my daughter (4 years old) at the Tate Gallery in London. My daughter absolutely loves this book and for the past 6 months we have read it probably close to 100 times. It is a wonderful introduction to impressionist painters and their paintings. Although I grew up in Europe, my daughter is growing up in Asia and doesn't have much of a chance to see such famous paintings. When we went back to Europe to visit my parents, she quickly recognized Monet's paintings at a museum we visited. This books is a great idea to introduce children to the classic world of art. I just ordered 2 more from this series.
 Great Book!
This was a very nice book to use as an introduction to art appreciation with a Pre-Kindergarten class. Wonderful story and it was easy for the children in our school to relate to.
Katie Meets The Impressionists
Very cute wish I thought of this myself. Very creative and the illustrations are terrific. Katie is adorable too. Check out the other books he's written the Sunflowers is another great book too. My three year old is learning about art, color, paintings and stories. A winner.
Katie Meets the Impressionists
James Mayhew set the bar high with this adventurous and educational story. I cannot think of a better way to encourage children to explore impressionism. Our daughter was just 3.5 when we first fell in love with Katie. We have since purchased the series of Katie books and enjoy sharing them with other children.
