A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'This well-researched and enchantingly presented picture book invites young readers to join a 'caravan' for an historic journey along the ancient trade route known as China's Silk Road... With its bright pictures and energetic text - both based on historical evidence - it is likely to nourish young imaginations... One of those quality print books that I hope and believe will continue to prosper even in an electronic age.' - Books for Keeps --Books for Keeps. 'The lilting rhyming text makes this beautiful book a real hit with young children. The stunning pictures and the history and geography of the Silk Road will also appeal to older children and adults. A wonderful gift book.' - The Green Parent --The Green Parent
