Sasek’s first children’s travel book was published in 1958. His works presented a poignant picture of some of the world's great cities and countries. After charming children and adults for more than 50 years with his wry commentary and his whimsical paintings, an abridged compilation of his most popular children’s travel books has recently been reissued under the title This is the World.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This affordable collection includes paintings and comments on skaters in Central Park, St Patrick’s Cathedral in Ireland, Oxford University in the UK, the different tartans in Scotland, the Louvre, the Canal Grande in Venice, the Tiger Balm Garden in Hong Kong, and so much more. Talented illustrator and storyteller M. Sasek encapsulated the best of the world’s major capitals and countries - their art, architecture, music, food, and traditions - and brought them to life for young readers. Aren't you glad your family will also get to experience this work of art?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Delightfully age-appropriate, this book still may present a few concerns for conservative families as various worldviews or religions from around the globe are presented or hinted at. For example, you will read about temples and icons in Greece, firecrackers to ward off evil spirits in Hong Kong, leprechauns in Ireland, and find an evolution-based reference to “primitive species” living in Australia. Despite these concerns and others like them, we think you will find this to be a lovely book to read with your child, so long as you are prepared to discuss each issue, or perhaps skip a few pages if you prefer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__features-title\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublish Date:\u003c\/i\u003e September 9, 2014\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFormat:\u003c\/i\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/i\u003e Universe\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eISBN:\u003c\/i\u003e 9780847843961\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/i\u003e Miroslav Sasek\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFaith-Based:\u003c\/i\u003e No","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35291074756772,"sku":"117-365","price":32.99,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kit Item","offer_id":35291074822308,"sku":"117-365","price":0.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0436\/9045\/9300\/products\/ThisIsTheWorld_IMG_7093.jpg?v=1595335149","url":"https:\/\/timberdoodleshort-com.myshopify.com\/products\/this-is-the-world-a-global-treasury","provider":"timberdoodleshort.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
