Travelling with Mr Sloth

Join Mr Sloth and Hattie the Hippo on a gentle, funny, and fact-filled journey through Hungary.
Mr Sloth may travel slowly, but that helps him notice wonderful details that others miss. In Book 54 of the Travelling with Mr Sloth series, he explores Budapest, follows the Danube, admires grand bridges and historic buildings, discovers natural warm springs, visits Hortobágy National Park, explores Lake Balaton, and learns how rivers, landscapes, traditions, creativity, and community life connect Hungary.
Along the way, children learn about Hungarian geography, wildlife, grasslands, lakes, cities, food, language, transport, music, embroidery, art, and cultural traditions. Mr Sloth practises simple Hungarian phrases, makes a colourful flower-pattern card, completes a Hungary fact file, and collects a special Hungary passport stamp for the Mr Sloth World Passport.
This warm educational travel adventure combines geography, culture, reading, creative activities, and confidence-building. 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.
