Joshua aged nine says this is a great pop-up book that’s easy for kids to read. The book includes a few myths and other stories that will make kids curious about exploring.

[Haylee · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was a fun read, but it had too many illustrations, and not enough real information

[Tara · Rating 5 out of 5]

A glorious pop-up book with letters, flaps, and a board game complete with spinner!
Everything a young adventurer needs.
Easy to read, well organised. Kids won't be allowed to touch this one!
