My Katie loves Katie
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
My two-year-old daughter Katie cannot get enough of this book. It comes with us wherever we go, we read it day and night, and she has been wearing her bathing suit for three weeks now because she wants to be 'just like Katie.' There is something extremely magical about this book! Also, I like this story better than some of the others -- Katie is less of a rascal in this one.
Delightful

I read this with my 6 year old. We checked out a book about Seurat at the same time so I could show her the actual paintings. She giggled as we read. It was fun for the art to come alive.
Read it Again!

This book takes the reader on a journey through a young girls imagination and provides a unique exposure for young children in art appreciation. The end of each book provides information on the artist, materials used to create the art form and the location of the painting. Both of my daughters, age two and five, really enjoyed reading the collection of Katie's adventures. I would recommend buying the hardcover books for long lasting use, because you will be reading it again and again!
Wonderful introduction to art

A relative gave this book to my daughter and we enjoy it very much. We spend a good amount of time visiting museums. My little girl always has fun looking at the paintings and imagining being able to jump inside, like Katie! The entire series is an excellent intro to art and museum visits. Though I will say, it should be stressed to a younger child that you can't actually touch the paintings, it is certainly fun to enter Katie's art world.
