Explore the World: A Fascinating Journey for Inquisitive Globetrotters

Andrew Stewart Gibson: Our 5 year old loves this book especially because it follows a map showing spots around the world. Some "facts" are a bit suspect (e.g. animals in Cape Town, Tokyo all about vending machines)

Mrs Alison Austin: This book is lovely and has lots of really interesting details about different parts of the world without being boring. I have had a look through it before giving it to my Granddaughter.

Marlee Bangerter: This book is lovely and whimsical. I bought it purely because I love the art and love having beautiful books for my kids to peruse. We are Americans living in Japan, so we especially appreciated the Japan pages - they very much capture the essence of what it is like here! That gave me assurance that the rest of the book is similarly accurate. This isn’t an atlas or textbook-style resource by any means, but it captures the imagination and engages the eye.

Paulia Cheung: I pick up the book today. The first page I read is Hong Kong cause I was born here. Good depiction! Since I was a child I think that Hong Kong is just a big market, whether I like it or not, and everything here is about goods and their transport. The picture reminds me how good a 'red-white-blue bag' is in representing Hong Kong. I think the author has really 'digests' the place before he writes it.
This is a book of arts for adults ( I can't say for the children cause I am not one) It touches more than it teaches. It reminds me of how much I love the place where I live.
I dislike encyclopedic. The title 'Everything and Everywhere' deters me from buying the book even for children. I first met the book's earlier Chinese version 'Lots' in Muji (children book section) It's a pity that people, especially marketing people think that illustrated books are just for children.
I like the book's cover, trying to put everything and everywhere there, and I come up with this review's headline.

MrsGDJ: Bought this for my 5 yo as a Christmas gift. He enjoys poring over busy books and it seemed up his alley. It did not disappoint, but it's not one of his favorites either. I think the art, which is like watercolor painting, is not as engaging to him. There is not much writing in the book either, mostly just identifying what a picture is, without giving much detail. I bought this for $8 and change and, at that price point, would definitely get again or consider gifting.

David: I bought Lots a couple of years ago and it was beautiful. I bought this for my son for Christmas thinking it was a different book, or at least complimentary to the first- only to find out today that it’s the exact same book under a different name. I feel this should be clearer. Don’t buy the two together!

Elizabeth L.: I collect children’s books for my son’s library and he is *obsessed* with atlas books and maps. If you’re into Maps (the children’s book), This Is How We Do It, or any of the Atlas of Adventures series, this book is a natural addition filled with amazing, beautiful art and engaging humorous captions and facts. I’m glad to have made the purchase, and I disagree with the other reviewer who claimed there were “too adult” things in this book. We live in New Orleans and see some... things... that I have to explain sometimes, and if you really are uncomfortable with your child seeing images of shisha smoking, I suggest never traveling outside of the home and avoiding all PG13 Television.

Fiona: Wonderful book but please note, this is the same as the “Lots” book. I bought this thinking it was a similar book by the same author but it’s just been renamed and new embossed cover. Do buy it though as it’s gorgeous but not if you already have Lots!!

GRACE: Great book but just the same as LOTS, by same author. Just a little bigger so had to return.

Susan: I travel a lot and wanted a way to briefly share some of my experiences with my great-nieces. It's a really tall and wide book, with every page covered in drawings and words telling about each place. The locations included are Antarctica, Alice Springs (Australia), Hong Kong, Tokyo, Ulaahbaatar (Mongolia!), New Delhi, Moscow, Cairo, Paris, Rekjavik (Iceland), New York City, Galapagos Islands, Amazon Rainforest, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), and Cape Town (South Africa). I love that these are not just the typical tourist locations and find that I still need to go to 7 of the 15 locales!! Time to start planning my next adventure!!
