My Review:
In The Tales of Charlie Wags: London, the second installment in the delightful picture book series, Charlie takes us on a fascinating virtual tour around London, showcasing the city's best sightseeing spots along with fun activities that are worth checking out.
A quick wag of his tail sends Charlie straight to the gate of Buckingham Palace, which marks the start of his day-long stroll in London. From the majestic royal residence and dazzling royal treasures to the bustling food market and gigantic Ferris wheel, Charles discovers the irresistible charm of the city through its historical and cultural landmarks. So much remains to be explored around the world. Where would Charlie go next?
Written in rhymes and a lighthearted tone, the story arouses youngsters' interest in the wonders of London and in international travel in general. By following their adorable four-legged friend around, young readers learn about the look, location and function of each world-renowned tourist attraction as well as the country's signature cuisine, tradition and etiquette. Those wanting to know more are sure to be delighted by the "Paws and Learn: Landmarks Unleased!" section, where additional information about each site of interest is provided and followed by engaging questions that prompt readers to imagine, interact, and share their creative ideas.
The book grabs and keeps the little ones' attention with its colorful and lively illustrations, which artistically weave together elements of reality and imgination. The use of floral decorations adds beauty and vitality to the city view, while the inclusion of iconic objects like black cabs, red double-decker bus and bowler hat supplies authentic details not covered in the text.
Both magical and realistic, The Tales of Charlie Wags: London makes a beautiful addition to the series and to any child's library. It helps young explorers broaden their horizons and get informed about places they have yet to visit in person.

About the Author:
Sister-author duo Ali Barclay and Sofie Wells form the writing team behind The Tales of Charlie Wags picture book series. The series offers young explorers a conversational understanding of the world’s most famous cities.
As daughters of immigrants, their family heritage exposed the sisters to the importance of cultural diversity early on. Their parents prioritized showing them the world, even on a tight budget. This instilled in them the idea that travel is one of the best forms of education.
Recognizing that not all children had the chance to explore the world firsthand, Sofie and Ali saw an opportunity to share their travel experiences with other families and children through charming stories that make far-off places accessible.

Sanna has loved art her whole life and has plenty of experience painting with watercolor. When she had children, she didn’t have the time or energy to pull out all the necessary supplies to paint.
