Katie and the Mona Lisa

Katie helps the Mona Lisa to smile again!

Includes five masterpieces from five Italian Renaissance artists:

Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci,

An Angel in Red with a Lute by an associate of Leonardo,

St George and the Dragon by Raphael,

Primavera by Sandro Botticelli,

The Lion of St Mark by Vittore Carpaccio

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.
