(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Chris Chalik & Dave Shephard. Also illustrated by Jon Davis and Leo Hartas. This impressive book looks at a history of journeys around the world. Litton includes those over water, land, ice, and snow, and via machines such as motorcycles, motor vehicles, airplanes, and spacecraft. Brief but informative sections on a diverse selection of explorers and travelers are accompanied by evocative monochromatic sketches of people and places, bringing the fascinating journeys to life.
