Cute stuff. I tandem read this with my 7yo, and it was fun to look up videos of kids doing touristy stuff in all the places they visited. The illustrations were charming AF and my favorite part.

Kid review: “Pretty cute.”

We read this for Geography in our homeschool curriculum this year. Some of the information, re names of countries, is outdated, but I pre-read in advance to change the names. We paired it with map work, drawing the route the Sea Queen took on it's voyage around the world.

My daughters loved the story and will often pretend to be the cats in their play, as well as drawing the cats on cards for friends.

We read this as part of our geography lessons in homeschool. My 6yo absolutely loved it and always got excited when he saw it in the stack. It’s a cute story, but some of it is outdated which led to some confusion on the maps, but ultimately to good discussions.
