About the Book

James Mayhew’s first book, Katie’s Picture Show, was published in 1989, and was inspired by a real life trip to London with his sister and their Grandma. Many more Katie titles have followed, introducing great works of art to children.

“Graffeg have had the pleasure of working with Eva on a number of projects over the past few years, furnishing us with an added educational resource for many of our books. Work of the highest standard is always completed on time and I would happily recommend Eva to anyone looking for top quality teachers' notes to accompany their texts.”
