I absolutely love this entire series of books. Katie visits various places, usually museums but occasionally other places, with her grandmother (and sometimes her brother). Grandma usually falls asleep on a bench, leaving Katie to explore on her own and what great adventures she has! The people in the paintings speak to her and she usually travels through several paintings or landmarks learning about them. Then, in the back of the book, there are facts about the paintings and their artists.
It's a great way to teach small children about art!
