★“Executed in meticulous and gently hued watercolors, this
imaginative rendering will fill hours of wonderment, always with
the delightful anticipation of seeking still one more amazing
detail.”—Booklist
“With paintings, visual puzzles and tricks of perception, Anno
introduces geography and science by focusing on children and adults
at work and play, as well as on art, architecture, composers, and
painters, as he conducts an imaginary tour of England . . . Lush
paintings, exquisitely detailed . . . An exceptional
book.”—Publishers Weekly
