About the Author
James created his first Katie book 'Katie's Picture Show' over twenty years ago as a way to share his enthusiasm for art with children. His series of Katie books are much-loved and respected as an early introduction to art. 'Ella Bella Ballerina and The Sleeping Beauty' was James' first title featuring the adorable Ella Bella, and has been illustrated using a new delightfully retro art style. James lives in Letchworth, Hertfordshire with his wife and son.

Customer Reviews

Wonderful fun
This is the first Katie book that we read. Both my daughter(5) and son(3) loved reading this together. The illustrations are wonderful and the mischievious Katie and her adventures kept their attention. When we visited the National Gallery, they recognized similar impressionist paintings and were happy to find one of the Renoir's shown in the book. We've since purchased more of the Katie books and they've given us a basis for hunting for particular paintings or landmarks. The books are a terrific combination of imagination, fun and education.
