Katie In London

Product Information

To link this book to drama you could split the class into small groups and they could do freeze frames of the main events of the fire. Finally, for a literacy lesson you could make story boards of the events of the great fire of London. I think this would be most suitable for those in the early years at school, although some sensible older toddlers might also enjoy it. James’s Katie picture book series has been making art an adventure for children worldwide for 25 years.

When they get to London Grandma is so tired that she falls asleep so Katie and her brother go off and explore all the sights of London. This review is on behalf of my twin almost-three-year-old associates, whose cousin, now 12 , passed on four books that she thinks she has grown out of. At Trafalgar Square they meet a talking stone lion, and he takes them on a wonderful tour of the city.

The Lion is wonderfully large and golden and has a fabulous flowing mane, and all of the sights are instantly recognisable and very detailed.
