This is a stunning ‘coffee table’ like book; sumptuous, enticing, stylish and ready to whisk you away to another country.

The book invites you to “take a stroll to the four corners of the globe” and explore different cultures. Each double page spread depicts a city with lots of flaps providing funny & quirky glimpses into people’s flats, shops & vehicles.

I had fun reading this with the children, they were fascinated at opening a flap to a picture of a child in the bath or a crocodile on a leash. With so many things for us to spot and talk about, including a cat eating spaghetti, we were easily engrossed. With Freya (2) it was fun the spotting animals in the different cities and she enjoyed lifting all the flaps. With Bryn (6) I was able to talk about the differences between the cities and which ones he’d like to visit.

The stylish illustrations make this book really stand out – this isn’t your typical children’s book.
