Description:
Enchanting illustrations, suggestive of Gustav Klimt's own style and enlivened by the lovable and curious "Katze," make this a book for readers of all ages. Capatti not only teaches about the artwork of the Secessionist artist, but also suggests the importance of hard work, dedication, and being true to oneself.

Bank Street College, Best Children's Books of the Year (2006
"This quirky distillation of Klimt's essence is particularly notable for its luminous, gold-leafed multimedia paintings that effectively evoke the Viennese Secessionist painter's individualistic style. . . . Monaco's illustrations are so unique that libraries with strong artistic picture-book collections won't want to pass this by."
-- Kirkus Reviews"The depiction of an artist to whom work is more important than family, wealth or recognition, comes through with force--and with great charm." -- Publishers Weekly
