Even the end pages are perfection in Martin’s latest offering Lots, an exploration of prevalent people, creatures and things in various places around the world, depicted in vibrant illustrations. The usual fare of Paris (lots of dogs), New York (taxis) and Tokyo (vending machines) are included, but excitingly enough, they’re joined by less common places like Ulaanbaatar (yaks) and Reykjavik (people named Jon and Anna). Beautifully illustrated with very funny notes, Lenin is ‘accidentally’ almost described as a member of The Beatles on the Moscow page, this is an enjoyable addition to any budding adventurer’s bookshelf.
