Synopsis:

A fascinating and engaging children's book exploring 80 different ways to travel used from past to present--from the obvious, to the crazy!

Travel around the world by yacht, tram, train, unicycle, jetpack, camel...everything you can imagine! Each scene depicts various exciting things that go and provides a wealth of interesting information. The fun and charming illustrations will prompt discussion and the incredible facts on every page will amaze readers. 

My Thoughts:

Around the World in 80 Ways is an illustrated list of things that have helped people from all over the world to get from Point A to Point B throughout history.  

From the earliest forms of canoes and carriages and trains to more unique forms of transportation such as the unicycle, zipline, and even hot air balloons! This book covers everything that floats in the sea, flies in the air, and gets us across the land. 

We traverse different parts of the world in different eras and learn how transportation has changed over time.  Each subject listed is explained in a quick but educational paragraph and there is a handy index at the end!

If you could choose anything at all, how would you travel?
