[Erik B.K.K. · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not as interesting as "A street through time". The illustrations aren't really engaging, and it's not the same port for each time era.

A great book for all ages. I can pour over this book by myself or with my kids. Great for long, hot summer days when you need to keep cool. There is so much to discover. So much detail, so many layers.

Wonderful book! Extremely visual, with minimal text, yet it's packed with information, and really keeps the reader interested in teasing out more details with each viewing. I would love to find more in the series!!

I loved it. The book was long. The illustrations inside were clear and fun with helpful hints and hidden object that children would love to find. Recommended not only for children but adult readers as well.

Charming way to while away slow spells at the library's circulation desk.
