The Gallery Cat Summary

The Gallery Cat by Stella Blackstone

Join Valette, the Gallery Cat, as he takes his two young friends Adam and Lizzy on a trip to the local art gallery. Adam and Lizzy think art galleries 'are worse than school', until Valette opens their eyes to the pictures around them and encourages them to explore and appreciate the paintings in a completely new light. Illustrated by Tony Ross, this gallery guide was produced in partnership with Manchester Art Gallery, but the text, enhanced by the traditional and contemporary pictures featured within, is appropriate for children all over the country and will foster a love of art in even the most sceptical of young critics!
