I think this would be most suitable for those in the early years at school, although some sensible older toddlers might also enjoy it. Journeying through London's busy streets, crammed with red buses, black taxis, parks and grand buildings, we even squeeze in a visit to Buckingham Palace and see the Changing of the Guard! They show a city full of life and movement – people and vehicles on the city streets, Tower Bridge swinging open for the river traffic and the London Eye turning as Katie, Jack and the lion rise high above London. But can they help Father Christmas to deliver all his presents and be back in time for Christmas morning?Many of his books have a cultural agenda and James is passionate about introducing children to art, music, opera, ballet and traditional tales.

Katie and her brother are taken on a tour of the sights of London, they take in Trafalgar Square, The London Eye and Buckingham Palace in the company of their friend the Lion.

James Mayhew has a series of books about Katie that are usually introducing children to a particular artist. The illustrations aren't that thrilling and I'm not crazy about the stupid lion coming to life, but the whirlwind tour is nice.
