Leerzaam om eerst vanuit de ruimte een kaart (map) te bekijken en daarna per bladzijde steeds verder in te zoomen naar land, straat, huis, etc. totdat we uiteindelijk in het hoofd van Katy (Nederlandse versie) terecht kwamen. Herkenbare zaken zijn op de kaarten te vinden, maar ook nieuwe dingen tegengekomen. Waarbij zoonlief zich elke keer afvroeg of wij dat ook in de buurt/huis hebben.

The art was just oodles of fun! I love love the style. How it feels like it was really made by a child. Playful. Colourful. Hope that makes sense. This book would be a great addition to any school library or reading corner... It could be used to support KS1 topics in geography and maths, such as local area mapping, towns and cities, geographical scale, and as a general introduction to map work. A really fun book for young readers." - Books for Topics Here's a round-up of new children's books from the last year (2023), which we think any child aged 4 to 5 will love. Martha's map is full of fun details and true facts that are perfect for curious minds. The book radiates a contagious energy and excitement for the wonders of the universe." - BookTrust

I mean this in the best possible way and with absolutely no disrespect to Leigh Hodgkinson. It's actually really challenging for a grown-up to convincingly make art that looks like it was created by a child. Leigh has mastered this and it's a huge part of this story's appeal. It will encourage readers to get creative and make their own maps - and their own books too. Finally I had the chance to read this one! I had my eyes on it for a while, then one of my libraries got in their collection… but apparently it went missing as it is still not on any shelves, and then I just decided to get it in English.
