My London Colour, Draw, Explore - A review
DETAILS:
My London: Colour, Draw, Explore by Majel van der Meulen
Paperback
Published by: Laurence King
Available from: March 2017
Price: £7.99
ISBN: 978 1 78067 9112
My London: Colour, Draw, Explore - well the clue's in the word explore really. Out this Spring, the London themed activity book is the perfect accompaniment for a trip to the capital. It has a whopping 40 pages for children to make London their own as they weave along the river Thames from Big Ben to Tower Bridge, spotting all the famous landmarks, buildings and people as they go. Encouraging imagination, it asks children to, for example, draw the people on the London Eye, design a bridge, create an art exhibition at the Tate, even build a skyscraper; surely this book is any budding architects/artists idea of heaven?
LIFE AS IT IS VERDICT
My London: Colour, Draw, Explore is a fun and unique London themed activity book for children incorporating travel and doodling. It is a journal of sorts, with colourful trendy pages full of London landmarks, and space for children to add their own stamp on them, as they make (and keep) memories. A great souvenir.
Emma Oliver and the GraceFaith girls received a copy of My London in exchange for this review, all ideas and comments are my own.

Living the city highlife... Moroccan style - a review
The underground heaves - it's an ongoing rush hour. Close and clammy, emerging into the East End is a breath of fresh air. I climb the steps of Bank tube station and tune in to the fact that they are gold. Steps paved with gold lead to streets paved with gold in the oldest financial district of London. Finding my bearings in EC3, I can't help but register a nod to Mary Poppins; pigeons peck on the steps of The Royal Exchange surrounded by big black umbrellas. In true British summer fashion, it hasn't stopped raining the entire day.

Animal Architects - A book review
This September, Laurence King Publishing brings you a wonderful new book from their Children's range, entitled Animal Architects.
This book is an original exploration of how animals build their homes and the fascinating structures they create.
Each spread contains a beautiful, colourful illustration of each animal and its home, plus a unique fold-out information panel, with stats and a simple architectural diagram showcasing the creation of the 'architect'.
Look inside chimpanzee nests, beaver dams, termite mounds, stork nests and many more - and get to know the clever animals who build them!
VERDICT:
A beautifully constructed and really rather exquisite book for all enquiring minds; especially those that love the animal kingdom.
