Full disclosure: I received this as a Goodreads giveaway, but that in no way affects the review which follows.

Very clever idea for a short children's book -- Theo the Suitcase accidentally ends up flying to Greece and, once he arrives, decides he'll stay long enough to take advantage of the cultural and sight-seeing opportunities. This is a fun story that teaches a bit about Greece and would be a great bedtime book for an adventurous little one.

Thanks for the opportunity to read about Theo!

I won this in a Goodreads giveaway.

The illustrations are okay, but the story is a bit disjointed. Children who are not travelers may have trouble trying to grasp this. My 6 year old granddaughter was confused, and did not care for this at all.

5 STARS A cute idea for a child's book. My great grand daughter loves it. I liked the idea of introducing world travel to youngsters.
