This book hits the fact that physically traveling around the world isn't possible, but it's still possible to gain an impression of all sorts of neat places and have fun without ever leaving the living room.
A little girl proudly knows that her mother has traveled all around the world. Luckily, she's even taken pictures of her travels. Using these, the reader accompanies her to various places, learns a few facts and sees them through the girl's imagination—as if she were truly there.
My favorite part of this book was the illustrations. While the girl sticks out a bit, the places she visits are nicely done and give a nice, yet artistic impression, fitting well with the idea of going on an imaginary journey. There are enough details for young readers to learn a few things just by seeing them. And the variety of places visited is quite broad as well.
The story follows the girl to each place and brings across her excitement and energy well. While she drops a few interesting facts about each one, a pinch of humor and a taste of her shining personality are present too. It makes a lovely read-aloud, except I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for listeners under ages four or five. The facts do hold numbers and information, which won't necessarily mean much to younger listeners. Slightly older ones will find them more interesting.
I received an ARC and enjoyed the jaunt around the world without ever leaving my desk.

Such a beautifully illustrated book! I read it with my 6 and 10 year olds and we loved learning a few fun facts about places we've never been. We plan to do some research of our own to learn more about the places in the book.
