Join Katie as five famous Pointillist paintings come alive for her!

On a hot, sunny day, a painting of some bathers in a cool river proves too tempting for Katie, and so she dives straight into the picture! But Katie doesn't just cause a splash - she causes a flood! Paddling with new friends might be fun, but how will Katie stop the water pouring into the gallery?

A wonderful introduction and explanation of the Pointillist art style, featuring five masterpieces from three famous artists:
Bathers at Asnieres by Georges Seurat
Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat
Port of Honfleur by Georges Seurat
Woman Hanging up the Washing by Camille Pissarro
Portrait of Felix Feneon by Paul Signac
