Katie and her brother Jack get a special tour of London by a Trafalgar Square lion! Join them on a whirlwind tour of the sights, including the Tower of London, the London Eye and Buckingham Palace!
“This picture book mingles fantasy with information most successfully… a lively introduction to some of the main London sights within the context of an appealing story…The text keeps up the pace of the story and includes a lot of convincing dialogue. Colourful and extremely detailed illustrations add greatly to the appeal of the book. They show a city full of life and movement – people and vehicles on the city streets, Tower Bridge swinging open for the river traffic and the London Eye turning as Katie, Jack and the lion rise high above London. Feelings are important too – young readers will like the touching ending when Katie and Jack hand over a woolly blanket, purchased at Harrods with the last of their pocket money, to keep the lion’s tummy warm.” – Books for Keeps.
