Searching with Sam Widges

On his local & global travels young boy Sam Widges encounters many interesting characters - from a flan fan old man & his monkey mate on a itchy desert island and mice on the moon hiding beneath a big chunk of Chinese cheese, to mysterious performers parading by a Fuji mountain river walk in Japan & didgeridoo dancing outback aboriginals...

The red world map at the beginning of the book works like a puzzle for readers to try to guess which page relates to which stopover point in the book on his long distance travel to many different continents of this planet & give young readers an insight into our big planet.
