Customer Reviews

Excellent - but also available under another title
Great book - I heartily endorse the other reviews. But....as my daughter loved it so much I bought other pop-up books by Kate Petty including The Amazing Pop-Up Geography Book which turned out to be the same book under a different name. Do not be taken in.

One Wonderful World
A fantastic book. My son has had this since he was 4, he's now six, and it is still a great favourite. Not only is it fun, but very informative, he & I have learnt a lot from it. Excellent

One wonderful book!
My son, who is six, adores this book and so do I. He has learnt so much from it already. The eye-catching illustrations and pop-ups really seem to capture his imagination and hold his interest. I have bought the book for friends' children too who have also been enthralled by it!
