Little Kid, Big City!: London; Pick Your Own Path Through London!, written by Beth Beckman and illustrated by Holley Maher, is a children's travel book currently scheduled for release on June 15 2021. If a kid were given the opportunity to lead a tour through London, where would they go? Would they hop on the Tube to visit Buckingham Palace, watch a play at Shakespeare's Globe Theater, or pass the time with Big Ben? By following prompts at the end of each page in Little Kid, Big City, the options are endless! In this series, an illustrated travel guide collides with an interactive format, allowing children to imagine, create, and explore their own routes through the greatest cities on the planet. With gorgeous illustrations, lovable characters, and dozens of different forks in the road, Little Kid, Big City is a new way for kids to take part in their travels and invent their own adventures.
Little Kid, Big City!: London; Pick Your Own Path Through London! is a lovely and informative look at exploring London. I liked the variety of locations covered, and the fun way they are presented. There is a great deal of information offered, including the basics of he location and the expectations for visitors, but it never gets to be overwhelming. The suggestions of what to do next, and the detailed index in the back of the book, would make the book useful when planning a trip or while out and about. For those of us even less likely to travel in the near future, with the world being in its current state, the book also offers fodder for dreamy to-do lists, and just getting to know more about London now, even if we are not likely to see it in person. I liked the artwork a great deal- it was realistic and still felt a little fun and whimsical. It was simply enjoyable to look at, and to find small details and points of interest in.
As a whole Little Kid, Big City!: London; Pick Your Own Path Through London! is a well written and illustrated look at London, whether you plan on visiting soon or not.
