Book Review:
“Napo in London" is a delighful book! The illustrations are vibrant and colourful, perfect for capturing young readers' attention. It’s educational, just the right amount for children. I like the subtle messages woven trough the story - they never feel preachy.
The geographic references highlight London's famous landmarks in a fun way, as Napo and Freddie explore the city and grow closer as friends. It's adorable! I also appreciate the activities section, filled with simple, fun projects that make the book more interactive.
It's a great way to get children involved. A story is lovely, there is something special about feeling like you are part of it too! You really start to feel like Napo's friend by the end!"
M. Dolley, August 2022, London
"I thoroughly enjoyed 'Napo's Adventures in London'.
The author does a fantastic job of describing landmarks,
like Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, making it both
educational and enjoyable for younger readers.
Marta Grigorieva is an incredibly talented artist, and her work really shines in this book. Napo is absolutely adorable - cheeky, happy go lucky, a little mischievous, but alway charming.
I especially loved the twist where Napo travels back in time
and learns an important lesson... but you'll have to read the book to find out what happens!"-
