Travelling with Mr Sloth

Join Mr Sloth and Freddie the Frog on a gentle, funny, and fact-filled journey through Belgium.
Mr Sloth may travel slowly, but that helps him notice wonderful details that others miss. In Book 49 of the Travelling with Mr Sloth series, he explores Brussels and its ornate architecture, follows the canals of Bruges, walks through the Ardennes, visits Antwerp's riverside, and admires Dinant and the Meuse Valley.
Along the way, children learn about Belgian geography, wildlife, rivers, forests, food, languages, architecture, music, art, lace-making, cycling, creativity, and community life. Mr Sloth practises simple Dutch and French phrases, makes a paper lace pattern, completes a Belgium fact file, and collects a special Belgium passport stamp for the Mr Sloth World Passport.
This warm educational travel adventure combines geography, culture, reading, creative activities, and emotional confidence. It is suitable for independent reading, shared family reading, classroom topic work, home education, school libraries, travel learning, and curious children who enjoy discovering the world.
