This picture book, is a book full of post cards based on real post cards made of different everyday objects. The point of the book is to try and recognize the tons of different objects in the post card and compare it to the original, all the while learning about the place it is portraying. The "story" part of the book is the author portraying a trip that was taken to all these different places with little lines about each one. For example it starts off with, "Holland was all in bloom. In Scandinavia, we learned about the Vikings." And next to each little line is the corresponding post card and a number telling how many look-a-likes can be found on the page.
I would recommend this book to a young child who likes books where they have to search for clues; like "I Spy" or "Where's Waldo"
I can't think of any conflicts that could come from this book.
I really think this is a unique picture book, that has a lot of fun elements. I really enjoyed looking at the detailed cards and the information about each place, i think any young child would enjoy reading this book, alone or with their parents.
My rating: 4 out of 5
