This review is on behalf of my twin almost-three-year-old associates, whose cousin, now 12 , passed on four books that she thinks she has grown out of. When Katie and her cousin Jack visit London with Grandma, they don’t think there’s much to see and do.

James’s Katie picture book series has been making art an adventure for children worldwide for 25 years. At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills. At Trafalgar Square they meet a talking stone lion, and he takes them on a wonderful tour of the city. Does the book contain anything that teachers would wish to know about before recommending in class (strong language, sensitive topics etc.I'd like to think that if I had visited London as a child, I would have read this book beforehand to get myself hyped up! It is accepted by you that Daunt Books has no control over additional charges in relation to customs clearance. James Mayhew knows just how to capture the imagination and he depicts all the famous sights, beautifully drawn. Featuring many of London’s key landmarks, this storybook has become a bestselling introduction to London, and is perfect for children visiting the city for the first time.

as long as you have a ready excuse for why the Trafalgar Square Lion isn't waking up to fly you around the city any time soon!James Mayhew has a series of books about Katie that are usually introducing children to a particular artist. My only criticism would be that London looks a lot cleaner in this story than how I remember it when I lived there!
