Whizzy Wheels: London Taxi by Marion Billet


This book, part of the Whizzy Wheels series, provides four scenes of London's most famous landmarks. For extra authenticity it is even raining in one of them. The scenes are pretty good representations of the actual landmarks although they are of course cartoonified. The taxi stops at each of them before you drive it off to the next one on the strong cardboard wheels the book comes with. The balance in the pictures is just right for the pre-school audience too with plenty to see in the scenes whilst they are also not too cluttered.

There is also a London Bus version that does visit other London landmarks missing from this book.

There could of course have been more scenes, although with the London bus version and this together you've got the lot covered.

To sum up then with a bad pun:
Wheel-y good book. 

(I got this book through Amazon Vine. It is listed on Amazon here.)
