“[My daughter] was fascinated with the books! We would highly recommend these books to supplement your geography lessons (for teachers and homeschoolers), and to share the love of travel with your kids (for parents). The illustrations are bright and adorable, and sure to keep your child’s attention. The books are endearing and kids will get a kick out of them!”

“Exploring the world and expanding a child’s horizons are the focus of these books. From historical cities to local foods, customs, and languages, geography becomes a magical learning ride with the easy text and colorful illustrations. What I love most about this book: It’s short and sweet, written in a conversational tone that gets to the point and keeps it interesting. Having been both to Rome and Barcelona, I appreciate the care the author and illustrator took in maintaining the authenticity of their beautiful landmarks.”

“Molly and the Magic Suitcase is a great read for young children. Visually, it is stunning but more importantly, it imparts knowledge to the child in an absorbing way. By putting Molly as the person asking the questions, there is nothing obvious about the learning here – and this is the true beauty of the book. The whole story is a fantastic mix of learning and enjoyment and a perfect addition for any child’s bookcase.”

“Molly and the Magic Suitcase: Molly Goes to Shanghai may be a book for children, but it taught me a lot about Shanghai. Oler has filled this story with interesting facts, such as the maglev train in Shanghai being able to go 268 miles per hour and it does not touch the ground. I also liked that Oler told the reader how to pronounce words in Chinese. The colorful illustrations show what Shanghai really looks like. I really liked the special details that the buildings had in the pictures. I read this book with my four-year-old. She did need help with some of the words, but she really enjoyed the story. She now begs to ride the maglev train. I like that Oler touched on a little bit of everything in Shanghai. I was happy to find out that this is the 9th book in the Molly and the Magic Suitcase series. This is a very fun and educational series that I would be happy for my child to read. This series teaches them different things about faraway places. I highly recommend this series.”

“The book is educational, informative and introduces kids to an entirely new world of travel. The bright and colorful illustrations make it very visual and give an idea of how things look in Copenhagen. The book is not only about sightseeing, it also tells kids about many other useful things that will help them increase their knowledge and widen their perspective. I would recommend this whole series to parents for their personal collection.”

“I really enjoyed reading Molly and Michael’s adventures in Rome, and I think any child K through Third Grade would enjoy it much more than me! The story is fun, interesting, and enjoyable. The pictures are colorful and eye-catching, and do an amazing job of reinforcing the story. A child could easily look at the pictures and tell the story. Molly and Michael’s story will help your child’s imagination soar as you read Molly and the Magic Suitcase: Molly Goes to Rome by Chris Oler to them. Add this book to your library today!”
