A Gallery of Cats

When Tom visits an art gallery with his grandma, he wanders into a side room and discovers a very special exhibition indeed.

One by one, the cats in the paintings come to life and follow him as he views all the pictures, until a large and scary cat makes them all rush back to the safety of their own frames.

Ruth Brown has brilliantly imagined her own masterpieces in this playful exploration of the artistic styles of famous painters through the years. Tom discovers 13 painters from Mondrian to Munch and Kahlo to Klimt, learning along the way about the artists themselves, art styles, and even breeds of cat! This is an intriguing introduction to art for the young that will be pored over by children and adults alike.

Ruth Brown is the award-winning creator of some of Britain's best-loved children's books. She divides her time between London and Frome, with her children and grandchildren.
