The picture books about Katie, who visits art galleries with her grandma and steps into the paintings, are great for sharing either before or after a gallery visit. Most of the paintings into which Katie climbs in her first adventure are in the National Gallery, including Rousseau’s ‘Tropical Storm with a Tiger’ and Constable’s ‘The Hay Wain’. The actual paintings are reproduced within James Mayhew’s pictures for which he describes his own technique.
