I love this book! Katie’s Sunday Afternoon is about a little girl, Katie, who on a hot day tries to go to the pool with her grandma. The pool is too crowded so they decide to go to the art gallery nearby but the gallery is even hotter! So while grandma takes a quick nap, Katie discovers a room full of amazing pictures. Through Katie’s imagination the pictures she sees come to life. Katie and the characters in the paintings have many different mini adventures but in the end all is restored.
This is a great book to introduce children to real masterpiece art pieces. The masterpieces shown in this book include; Bathers at Asnières, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, and Port of Honfleur, all paintings by Georges Seurat. Hanging up the Washing by Camille Pissarro, and Portrait of Felix Feneon by Paul Signac. The illustrations were amazing… and how they drew Katie into each one was very impressive and unique.
