Grest christmas present !!

Bought it for my niece for christmas...she loves this series of books!!! It was on her christmas list. They remember where she has been and were she hope togo !!!

This is Venice

I bought this book for my children because I remembered enjoying them very much when I was a child. My reaction now to the "This is..." series is that they are very superficial and light, but that misses the point. As an introduction to new places, to intrigue a child's mind without overwhelming him or her, they are great. The impart an excitement and an optimistic openness. So what that they don't tell the whole story of any city? They light the fuse for a curiosity that will last the rest of one's life. Besides, I very much enjoy that late 50's-early 60's confident characature style.

very pleased

Great book in great condition. Well packaged and received quickly. Thank you.
