Europe and West Coast of Africa: Including the Mediterranean Sea Book

'Children love surprises. They love lifting flaps. This series rewards their curiosity with interesting discoveries about their world. The subject matter is based closely on children's interests: play, food, travel and home, and invites us to make friends with children from far away places.
The way people live is different in many parts of the world. This series of colourful flap books, created with and for OXFAM, depict everyday situations and help us to discover what makes us different and what binds us together. This book shows the different transport people use.'
This book was lovely.
This book is part of a four book series and is the second I have had the pleasure of reading. So I knew what to expect going into this book. I made sure to look for all little bits of information and not to miss any of the lifting flaps.
I think this book will easily be a fast favourite with young readers and their families. It isn't over flowing with information, but there is more than enough to entertain and inform.
The illustrations work perfectly with the story being told and really capture everything that is going on in each individual scene.
I loved the lifting flaps in this book. They added something extra to the story and were able to show different options for how various forms of transportation are used. This gave an option for a second explanation on how and why things are the way they are in different countries around the world.
I honestly don't have a bad word to say about this book. As an adult i really enjoyed it, so i can only imagine the joy and knowledge it will bring to young readers everywhere.
Come And Ride With Us! by Annie Kubler and Caroline Formby is must have for all young readers.
