Hey Kids! Let's Visit London England: Fun, Facts and Amazing Discoveries for Kids

It's been a lifelong dream of mine to visit London, England. This book just makes me want to go even more!I enjoyed reading about the sites you should be sure to see while you're visiting and like the interesting facts about each site.I look forward to seeing Big Ben in person. I will smile every time I see a red phone booth. I will have fun taking a trip on The Tube. And thanks to this book, I know enough to try Ben's Cookies!I'm familiar with this author from the other books in this series. I follow her on Facebook and enjoy when she posts some of her fun facts that come across my Facebook wall. Thank you, Teresa Mills!

My 12 year old son loves reading these books about all his bucket list travel destinations, but younger and older kids would enjoy too!

This book is geared toward middle-grade students, roughly ages eight through thirteen. It can be used as a guidebook to prepare children who are planning a trip to London with a family or a community organization. Each site is accompanied by pictures, its history, main features, and visitor appeal. Mills talks about iconic historical landmarks like Stonehenge, The Tower of London, Big Ben, The Red Phone Booth, Westminster Abbey, and Buckingham Palace. She discusses street landmarks like Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, the London Eye, and Harrod's Department Store. Other notable spots to visit include The London Zoo, Hampstead Heath, The Globe Theater, and Platform 9 3/4's with its connection to Harry Potter. Of course, no visit would be complete without a ride on the London tube or a visit to one of the museums like The Duxford Air & Space Museum or the RAF Museum.There is so much to see. Mills has especially focused on those of interest to children. This book can also be useful as a starting place for a school project on London. The book need not be read in any particular order as the chapters are not laid out sequentially.

This book is so engaging for a ten year old.

Just received this book..disappointed the pictures were not in color however it does have some fun facts. It's not what expected.

We took our 9 yo granddaughter to London. This was a part of a packet I made her so she knew something about what she was going to see and experience. She read it and selected three items to be sure we put on the agenda. Regular travel books are so loaded with information that the font is small and it is overwhelming for adults, much less a child. This was perfect for our needs.

My grandson needed this book for his project on England and it fit the bill for details he needed

Having just been to London with my husband and teenage daughter in 2013, I enjoyed reading this fun travel guide by Teresa Mills. There were many facts that I didn't know until reading the book. I especially enjoyed the chapter about the iconic red phone booths and their history.We were only able to see what we could see in our 2-day stay in the city as well as a two days traveling the area near London, but her descriptions were spot on, and the additional tidbits she wrote about some of the places we visited make me want to go back and take a second look!This guide is very appealing, and I think my daughter (who is now 19) would also enjoy it as much as she would have when we first went. If you are planning a trip to London with your kids or young adult travelers, this is a good way to figure out what you want to see during your stay. If you are there already, all the better!
