A 96 page book of 40 slow adventures around the world by boat, bike, on foot and by train. We move through the world at a gentle pace and the reading of this book will fire the imagination of children to encourage them to explore the world. It would be appropriate for children aged 10+ and also for geography teachers to use as a global adventure resource. Every section starts with a world map locating each journey and these are good location finders for a study of the journeys. Each of the journeys has a double page spread. The information provided is clear and educates the reader about what would be seen on each journey. As it says on the back cover ‘It is the journey, not the destination that matters” in this beautifully illustrated book.
