Press & Blog Reviews
A journey through London's history from Roman times to the present day, this book provides fantastic opportunities for developing children's speaking and thinking skills. The book brings home, in a very simple way, how architecture and daily life have changed over the centuries. It is also sturdy and well-made so would withstand the ravages of life in the classroom or school library.

This is an amazing book. I bought it for my nephew who is almost four and although the book has more advanced aspects for older ages the little flaps have kept him entertained all day and it makes a refreshing change to give him and read him a book that is so educational. It will no doubt be a favorite of his for the next few years. I am planning on buying more from the series for him as he was completely captivated with this one.
