What is Katie and the sunflowers about?

During a visit to the art gallery, Katie discovers that paintings can be entered—and that Van Gogh’s sunflowers are impossible to resist! She steps into five colourful scenes by Van Gogh, Gauguin and Cézanne, exploring each artwork and causing a little mayhem along the way. When she accidentally tips over a vase, the sunflowers spill out of the painting and into the gallery. Katie must think quickly to put everything right. Includes an introduction to Post-Impressionism and the featured artists.
