Oh the shenanigans Perky the Pig and Lion the Golden Retriever manage to tangle themselves in! I found this children’s book to be original with excellent pictures. The author did a fantastic job describing famous places to pique a child’s interest about the ‘rest of the world’. Two things would have made this book a firm 5 star – first; Illustration formatting was off with the chapters. For example, the chapter title of their visit to Stonehenge is at the bottom of an illustration of The Tower of London. Second and most important the verbiage of the story would not keep a child’s attention very long. It’s best to avoid being over-wordy especially in children’s literature. All in all the imagination, the illustrations and the subject make this a cute story! 3 stars.
