" The Inside-Outside Book of London can fairly stake a claim on a child's attention even if he has visited England only in his imagination. In these sumptuous pages, New Yorker illustrator Roxie Munro combines clear lines and jewel-like colors to present a great city's landmarks in idealized form--no scruffy news agents or kebab shops here. Rather, we are invited, mostly wordlessly, to take in the Greek Revival splendor of the British Museum, ride a double-decker bus along Regent Street, glimpse the queen passing in a gilded carriage, visit the magnificent houses of Parliament, and get a witty and surprising change of perspective at the Tower of London. A final page in small print relates factual details to supplement the drawings, which include a view from inside a British Rail train that will be familiar to anyone who has ever trundled through the London suburbs." - The Wall Street Journal "Whether you're an Anglophile hankering for a taste of London with its abundance of amazing architecture, or someone eager to simply see this capital city's highlights from the comfort of your couch, this picture book is for you. Share the sights of the former Londinium with your kids. They'll be impressed with its rich history found in every corner of town." - Good Reads with Ronna  .
