"The book feels like a walk through the city on a sunny day and will encourage young travelers to look and wonder at the sights of London. This picture book would make a good travel guide for a family visiting London for the first time... And readers who can't travel to London can visit in their imagination with the inviting drawings and story."
Grant Snider, Author of the Shape of Ideas, reviewing Lily's London Tour
