Review:
"A city full of bridges spanning the width of the winding Thames river, London comes alive in the 40 pages of "The Inside-Outside Book of London "as we tour Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, the Tower of London and St. Paul's Cathedral." -"Good Reads with Ronna
"
""The Inside-Outside Book of London" can fairly stake a claim on a child s attention even if he has visited England only in his imagination. In these sumptuous pages, New Yorker illustrator Roxie Munro combines clear lines and jewel-like colors to present a great city s landmarks in idealized form no scruffy news agents or kebab shops here. Rather, we are invited, mostly wordlessly, to take in the Greek Revival splendor of the British Museum, ride a double-decker bus along Regent Street, glimpse the queen passing in a gilded carriage, visit the magnificent houses of Parliament, and get a witty and surprising change of perspective at the Tower of London. A final page in small print relates factual details to supplement the drawings, which include a view from inside a British Rail train that will be familiar to anyone who has ever trundled through the London suburbs. -"The Wall Street Journal"
Whether you re an Anglophile hankering for a taste of London with its abundance of amazing architecture, or someone eager to simply see this capital city s highlights from the comfort of your couch, this picture book is for you. Share the sights of the former Londinium with your kids. They ll be impressed with its rich history found in every corner of town. -"Good Reads with Ronna"
"This is a wonderful book to introduce your child to London! . . . From riding atop a double-decker bus down Regent street to watching the Queen's Royal Procession, "The Inside-Outside Book of London"is sure to be a treasured volume for children and travelers of all ages."
