This book is about the different kinds of
journeys that humans make on this planet.
The book is broken into four different sections: water, land, ice/snow
and man/machine. Each page spread is a
different explanation about an exploration that took place in that type of
landscape. or mode of transport. A small history is given and
the people involved is accompanied by an illustration.
The illustrations in this book are fantastic
and make you feel like you are looking through a book of old discoveries. The information left me wanting more, especially more maps. There was just enough facts to make me
curious, but it also left me feeling dissatisfied. It is a simple summary which could have been better
if it had one wow fact. I’m not sure what kid would slog through this
book. It is oversized and feels like a
coffee book.
