I love the brilliant colors in the fun artwork, but also the story. Here are a couple of pages from Katie and the Dinosaurs: But, honestly, my 4-year-old seems to request the Impressionists and Spanish Princess more often. Now, honestly, my favorites are where she visits the dinosaurs and travels to Scotland for an adventure with Nessie. Then I found that she didn’t just explore the paintings of Monet and Van Gogh and Goya, but she travels to different countries and travels back in time to run around with dinosaurs, too. The point is, I was delighted that there existed this spirited little girl to introduce my kids to a culture I was desperate to try to share with them. Enough to pronounce the names correctly when I read the books – but that isn’t an issue anyway since there are pronunciation guides in the back. Now, I may not be all that familiar with the specifics of art history, even being an artist myself, but I have at least a basic knowledge. When I first found Katie, I was very excited.Ī colorful book that is fun to read AND teaches kids about art history?
