The world can be seen from many different viewpoints, but one of the most interesting is certainly food. Don't we always say, "we are what we eat"? Therefore, a particular food will reflect the culture, the tradition and the relation to nature of the people who created it. This book travels the countries of the world to reveal the secrets of the typical dishes. The reader will discover that the tapas, the typical finger food of Spain is called that because they were used to plug a glass of wine (tapar in Spanish), or that the first pizza was given the name of the Italian Queen Margherita. The drawings of the dishes on the maps take the reader on a journey through the flavours of the world, enriching their understanding of traditions and, why not, stirring the appetite. Ages: 8 and up

Explore 31 extraordinary monuments from around the world - from ancient treasures like the Colosseum to the modern Sydney Opera House. A world of wonders awaits children in this book! From the Palace of Versailles in France to the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, from Knossos Palace in Greece to Mount Rushmore in the US, it presents some of history's greatest monuments, along with their location, size, and fun facts and features. Each one is marvellously illustrated by Giulia Lombardo, and introduced by a famous character connected to its legend - including Antoni Gaudi, designer of the Sagrada Familia church; Gustave Eiffel, who created the Eiffel Tower; Jane Percy, Duchess of Northumberland, whose family lives in Alnwick Castle, where scenes from the Harry Potter movies were filmed; and Tom Jobim, who wrote a song about the statue of Christ on Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro.
