A Child's Guide to visiting London
Format: Paperback
I bought this as a Christmas present for my 12 year old granddaughter as she will be traveling to London this summer. It seemed perfect in describing places to visit and things to do. She was very excited to look at it.

Weird printing error
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
There are about 30 pages in the middle of the book dedicated to “what is special about dad”. I have to imagine we’re missing quite a bit of the actual book.

Great series
Format: Hardcover
The Worst is a great series. I ordered them for my 3 year old granddaughter, and they’re her favorite. She has all except the newest one, which I will be ordering for her birthday.
