James Mayhew knows just how to capture the imagination and he depicts all the famous sights, beautifully drawn.

as long as you have a ready excuse for why the Trafalgar Square Lion isn't waking up to fly you around the city any time soon! Join them on a whirlwind tour of the sights, including the Tower of London, the London Eye and Buckingham Palace! To link this book to drama you could split the class into small groups and they could do freeze frames of the main events of the fire. It follows the adventures of Katie and her younger brother Jack who take a tour around London on the back of a golden lion from Trafalgar Square. Children's books set in London are always popular and this is a particularly charming story of a girl having an adventure riding one of the Trafalgar Square lions.

This would be a lovely way to introduce any child to London, perhaps as a way to calm nerves before a first trip or as a way to reminisce after visiting. The Lion is wonderfully large and golden and has a fabulous flowing mane, and all of the sights are instantly recognisable and very detailed. Katie and her brother go out with their Grandma one day, she asks them to sit down by the Lion on Trafalgar Square and wait for her and so the fun begins! But can they help Father Christmas to deliver all his presents and be back in time for Christmas morning? I know most of the landmarks Katie visits, and the older granddaughter brought it home from her own visit.
