Little armchair travelers will be happy to join Maisy and friends on a whirlwind tour of the big city of London.
It’s Maisy’s first trip to London! There are so many places to see, and so many ways to travel. Maisy and her friends visit lots of important places, like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and the Tower of London. To get around, she and her pals ride a double-decker bus and a water taxi and even squeeze into an underground train! Of course, no sightseeing trip would be complete without taking lots of photos. This friendly introduction to a great city is perfect for little Maisy fans everywhere.
Lucy Cousins is the creator of the beloved Maisy series. She is also the author-illustrator of the widely acclaimed Yummy: Eight Favorite Fairy Tales, a New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Children’s Book of the Year, as well as I’m the Best and Hooray for Fish! Lucy Cousins lives in Hampshire, England.
The overall effect is jaunty and eye-catching. The text points out a feature or two on each page, but leaves plenty of details for kids to notice for themselves. Parents planning to take young children to London will appreciate this colorful picture book for its amiable cast of familiar characters and hit-the-high-spots approach to sightseeing.
