Is it trompe l'oeil? No, it's Katie—back for some postimpressionist pandemonium!

When the rain comes, Katie and her grandma must find an alternative to gardening. What do they decide upon? Why the museum, of course.

This time, Katie is drawn in by van Gogh's enchanting Sunflowers. So enthralled is she that she must have a sample of them for her own garden. That's when the trouble begins. Katie reaches into the painting wanting only to fetch a fistful of seeds. What she retrieves instead is more mayhem than she can manage.

Mixing madcap fun with engaging art history, Katie's latest artful adventure adventure is a priceless introduction to the masterpieces of van Gogh, Gauguin, and Cezanne.

Katie and the Sunflowers
"The desire to be in a painting is played with a winsome freshness: not only are these famous art works made accessible to young readers, but Mayhew captures post-Impressionist impasto and rich color effortlessly."
