Book Thoughts: Katie and the Mona Lisa (Mayhew)

• part of a series involving a young girl and her Grandma as they visit art museums
• art comes to life and has adventures with Katie (the main one in this book being Mona Lisa)
• great way to increase a child’s appreciation for art

Type: picture book
Ages: 2-6
Author: James Mayhew

This is the second “Katie” book we’ve read, and we like them both. Hoping to get a few more from the library soon. They make art an adventure!

The works of art mentioned and shown:
Mona Lisa (Leonardo da Vinci)
St George and the Dragon (Raphael)
Primavera (Sandro Botticelli)
The Lion of St Mark (Vittore Carpaccio)
An Angel with a Lute (Giovanni Ambrogio de Predis)

Enjoy!
