Description Share Post Pip’s Trip Around the World Fanny Joly and Lorenzo Sangiò Translated from the French L’incroyable tour du monde du chat Bébert by Jill Phythian (Thames & Hudson) When an envelope addressed to Charlie flies off the basket of Siamese Charlie’s scooter, Pip picks it up. It seems that Charlie’s won a Trip Around the World. However, she says she’s too busy. Thereafter, it’s a gift for Pip! Armed with a rucksack and feeling as though his dream’s come true, Pip’s off! The first stop on his journey is Spain, with landmarks including Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia and Granada’s Alhambra Palace to see. What will be on Pip’s itinerary in Paris, London, Rome or Berlin. Then again, what about further afield to Africa? It seems there’s so much to see and learn! Pip’s full of wonder at all he’s experiencing. What’s more, there are friends to meet, such as Meena in New Delhi and then Robbo in Sydney. How rich is this experience? Like The Girl Who Raced the World, for example, this is both a story alongside a travelogue. In fact this is rich and wonderful and most beautiful construction. There is so much to linger over and discover and so many questions to ask! Bookwagon is delighted to recommend Pip’s Trip Around the World to readers. What a treasure!
