Description
About the book. Around the World in 50 Ways allows children to choose their path through a journey around the globe. Lonely Planet Kids begins at the Tower of London and offers the reader a choice between different routes and modes of transport. The goal is to set off, discover new places, and attempt to find the way back, though not all choices lead where one might expect.
Content. Encounter tuk-tuks, sleds, steamboats, and hot air balloons. Once a mode of transport is selected, the reader learns how it works before the journey continues to the next location.

With more than 20 possible routes, the book can be read in several ways, and new choices can result in a different journey than the last.

The paperback edition allows for flipping back and forth, exploring various combinations, and discovering how small choices can change the entire reading journey.
From inspiration to your own plan. Browse together and let the child choose a theme that sparks curiosity. Take time to discuss the illustrations and discoveries, and see what questions they lead to.
