I love the Alice and Jerry Books, yesterday when I finished the one titled Runaway Home, I had to go find the one that had stories from all over. This is the one I was thinking about. Very good book.

Great book for kids and adults. It brings out the dreams of travel to other countries. I love all of the culture in each section of the book.

I love the Alice and Jerry books. This one is not really the best, but there's just something about it, anyway.
