[Hannah Foster · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this book so many times as a kid. And then read it so many more times to my younger siblings.

The illustrations don't bowl me over though in their own style, they are cute. But, this is a fun book to introduce the concept of reading a map.

[Elle · Rating 1 out of 5]

The story includes a map with locations that are mentioned throughout the text. Teachers could use this with students for map reading lessons but the story itself is lackluster.
