pickMan, I loved this book so much! I randomly found it at a secondhand store and thought it looked interesting, and took it on summer holiday - so glad I did. An amazing adventure travelling the world, fascinating to read about the different people and experiences she and her husband had, and the massive variety between each one. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My inner geek loved this history of the London Underground, my favourite read of February

I really like this book and would use it in my classroom as a part of a social studies lesson or activity, or even just to have it in my classroom library. Very interactive and has good pictures and is an overall very dynamic book
