Katie In London

Product Information

This one is introducing the city of London and I think it would work well for both children familiar with London as well as those who have never been. 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. My daughter enjoyed spotting the Queen waving from her window, and as we have visited London several times it was interesting to see some of the places we have been to in a story book.

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. When Katie and her brother Jack visit London with Grandma, something very unexpected happens… One of the Trafalgar Square lions comes to life and takes them on a wonderful tour of the city including Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, Big Ben and the London Eye. I know most of the landmarks Katie visits, and the older granddaughter brought it home from her own visit. Ella Bella Ballerina and The Sleeping Beauty' was James' first title featuring the adorable Ella Bella, and has been illustrated using a new delightfully retro art style.While their Grandmother is asleep they experience a wonderful adventure when a stone lion comes to life and gives them an insiders guide to London. Flo has it in her class at school and is excited to go to London to see the sites and to see the lion. The Lion is wonderfully large and golden and has a fabulous flowing mane, and all of the sights are instantly recognisable and very detailed.

James Mayhew's first book for children was Katie's Pictures Show, (Orchard Books 1989) establishing the long running series about a child's adventures in an art gallery.
