I like this series a lot!
"This is a great book. The information might be a little dated because the book is older, but so what. The sentiment and mood of London in conveyed perfectly. It's a great way to prepare a child for an upcoming trip and get them excited. They can get the updated facts when they are there."

Nice illustrations, but information is outdated
"While the pictures are lovely, the text is outdated (e.g. London is no longer the largest city in the world, etc.). The updated information is included in the back in an endnote section, but I don't want to have to skip to the back to correct the text I am reading to my child.
I returned the book."

Fun Picture Book for All Ages
"This book (and the others in the series) offers a great introduction to a foreign city and does it with humor and style! The illustrations are bright and full of details, and the text is full of tidbits about the city of London that will interest kids of all ages. Highly recommended!"
