Katie and the Starry Night

This is an awesome book! It is such a unique plot with Katie being able to climb inside the paintings. I read it to my kindergarten class and their jaws dropped when we got to the part where Katie climbed into the painting. I read this to go along with our Earth Science unit and it was perfect. Our art teacher helped the kids paint Van Gogh's Starry Night and the paintings turned out great. My niece told me about this book and used it with her preK class (3 year olds) and they loved it as well. She is very "artsy" and took the painting a step farther. She took individual pictures of her students and cut them out and let them paste them on their pictures. Fun, fun learning. Her three year olds can now pick out a Van Gogh! There are several other books in this series that are equally wonderful.

As a homeschooling mom of 4 kids under 8 these Katie books are an INCREDIBLE resource for introducing them to great classic artists and artworks. They are fun, show great integrity to the original works all while bringing them alive for small children and making them excited about art. These books are the greatest example of a "Living Book" In a Charlotte Mason, unschooling, or Montessori education and the ids truly love and cherish them. I love that we are creating these memories for them of great art and literature.

I bought this book to introduce my 6 year old daughter to the fine art. I love Vincent Van Gogh, so that's where I started. We both really enjoyed the book and she fell in love with A Starry Night. It's read every night. I love how they introduce other's of Vincent's art pieces in a way a child can understand. I recommend this book.

This is a sweet book for someone who wants to introduce a little one to great art at an early age. Plan on getting the entire series. Can’t go wrong..

This is a lovely book and one I don't mind reading a million times for my daughter. Beautifully illustrated and my daughter loves the colors.

What a wonderful book to introduce children to art. The illustrations are beautiful and the story captivating. My two-year-old loves this book as well as others in the series. I have a feeling we'll soon own all the Katie books!

My granddaughter was thrilled to receive her new artist t shirt for her birthday. It was part of a Vincent Van Gogh package with a children's book about the artist and a calendar to introduce his different pairings. A hit! Beautiful quality.

Great book to introduce Picasso to preschool children. They loved it and ended up painting their own versions of Starry Night. The illustrations were beautiful as well.

Great Katie book! No concerns.

I'm working as a teacher in a german kindergarten and since there seems to be nothing appropriate for children between 3 and 6 yrs in this area in german language I tried this one (translated it and glued the german text to the pages). It's really a wonderful, imaginative and compelling story for kids of this age and also beautifully drawn. Perfectly suitable for introducing art to children of the elementary sector. Check out the other. "Katie and..." books :-)

It’s a lovely book, helps introduce young children to art and iconic paintings. However the book came folded. Just putting it in a bigger envelope would have helped. Totally marred our experience to have a bend in the middle. Twice. Such a shame.

Me and my kid simply love this series! Katie's books are wonderful and this one in special. The style of the drawing following Van Gogh's style makes the whole book more vivid.

Katie collection by James Mayhew is worth to keep in your shelf for your kids. It’s Katie’s adventure to the museum, meeting a lot of painting characters and also their painter. I found the price of this book is cheaper from Amazon than the other websites.
