Customer Reviews

We love our humpy bumpy caravan!

A truly educational, truly enjoyable children's book! My children (ages 3 and 1) love it, and I would recommend it for elementary age children as well. There's extra info about the Silk Road in the back (including how to pronounce all the place names), but there's also a bunch of valuable information tucked into the rhyme — which is truly rhythmic and rhyming through the entire book. What's not to love?
