A fun and interesting non-fiction book, which takes you on a trip to London. The illustrations are amazing: really vibrant and child-friendly. The text and content isn’t overly detailed, giving a perfect overview of some of the sights and sounds of London, without being an information overload. I love the interactive format, where children can choose where to go next - this will really appeal to young readers. I will definitely be adding a copy of this book to my classroom bookshelf. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

Another wonderful addition to the Little Kid, Big City series.

This time we are venturing to London. With its beautiful, vibrant illustrations and fact-filled pages, this a must for any wannabe travellers. Beautiful.

Fond memories of time spent in the wondrous city of London came flooding back while looking through this book. All the great landmarks and other attractions of the city are included with just enough information required for a child. The illustrations are stunning and full of detail. The offer of choices where to go next (and therefore which page) is clever and will give children a lot of fun while reading.

Perfect book for the youngsters to bring on a vacation to this great city. Or, better still, before they arrive so as to up the anticipation and excitement factor.

I hope someone makes a book like this for adults soon!

I really enjoyed this book!

It would be great to give to a child ahead of any trip so that they can have a look at the sights ahead of the journey. I liked how the book was laid out and that there was a little more detail at the end too on the different places, or foods that are recommended!

The only thing that did baffle me was why Stonehenge was added when it is over 85 miles from London and over an hour and 45 minutes by road – I would not have included this in it as it is most certainly NOT in London!

It is 4.5 stars from me for this one, rounded up to 5 stars for Goodreads and Amazon – very highly recommended!

How do I even begin to describe how much I enjoyed this book?!? One of my favorite book genres is literary travel...a chance to travel through the pages of the book. And Little Kid, Big City!: London! does that incredibly well! The choose your own adventure style of the book lets readers plan their own journey through London. From Tower Bridge to Buckingham Palace to Trafalgar Square, this book captures everything that I love about literary travel and London!

The book sprinkles in all sorts of wonderful tidbits about London and the illustrations are gorgeous! You'll want to go back through the book after your first time through and just studying all the amazing details...down to the Mind the Gap written along the tracks in the Underground station.

I loved the Adventure Index at the back of the book and I can not wait to buy multiple copies of the book. I'll need a couple for my classroom, one to display in my home library and a couple in stock to give away as gifts. I can't wait to see more books in this series!

With thanks to NetGalley and Quirk Books for an early copy in return for an honest review.

I said when reviewing the New York edition that launched this series that I was looking forward to seeing what it had to say and show about London. Wishes come true, and here I am, in my nation's capital, with ultra-PC company (a mixed-race family of two mothers, two children, a babe in a papoose and a corgi), having a look round. I still say the choose-your-own-adventure stylings of these books are a bit of a flaw, where you can skip to specific double-page spreads as directed, and thus miss out on certain things you'd get to if you just read it cover to cover. But this is still as lively and energetic a read as the city is purported to be, speeding us through the tourist highlights and dropping off lots of factoids along the way. How far do you think the sound of Big Ben carries? How often does the Tower Bridge deck get raised for tall boats to pass it? Which became a standard red first – London buses or postal pillar boxes? These books really work for me, despite the issues I have with their format. In being a 'my first gazetteer' franchise they make one a bit more aware about the place they concentrate on, and surely inspire itchy feet to get exploring. No, these don't really let you appreciate the legwork in all this tourism (we're told to climb a gazillion steps on these pages – oh, and just fit in a passing trip to Stonehenge, a mere 86 miles from Piccadilly Circus) and they ignore the heinous fees you pay getting up The Shard, around this site and about this fair city, but it does really get you being a traveller in all but name. A strong four stars.
