Travel the world from the comfort of your chair with this gloriously illustrated book from Marc Martin.

An absolutely delightful guide to the world for young explorers. You´ll be taken from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro to the frozen continent of Antarctica via Hong Kong and Ulaanbaatar.
The pages are full of fun and personality, with quirky facts and gorgeous hand-drawn illustrations which are sure to capture readers´ attention. Did you know there´s only one place to withdraw cash on the entire continent of Antarctica?
My son and I spent a long time poring over the pages deciding where we would like to visit and marvelling at some of the weird and wonderful spectacles on display.
A stunning book, the perfect introduction to the amazing world around us.
