Join Katie as she steps into some of the most famous paintings in the world for an exciting art adventure!

Katie can’t decide what she wants to be when she grows up. Perhaps a trip to the gallery will be an inspiration, as the characters in five famous paintings come to life! Will she be an explorer, a train driver, a horse rider or an artist . . . ?

‘A wonderful way to engage children with art. A brilliant combination of education and storytelling’ – Parents in Touch (Katie’s Picture Show)

This art adventure features five famous British paintings:The Cornfield by Constable, Rain, Steam and Speed and The Fighting Temeraire by Turner, Whistlejacket by Stubbs, and The Painter’s Daughters Chasing a Butterfly by Gainsborough.

This volume contains 11 illustrated retellings of sagas, which are Viking stories that are characteristically gruesome but also filled with magic and treasure.

The retellings in this collection are engaging, exciting and well-pitched for KS2. The book contains colour illustrations and extra information pages that explain the history behind the Viking Sagas and how they came to be remembered today.
