Rainy Day Guide to Ireland - Tapa blanda

Most guidebooks to Ireland are aimed at adults. But many of those adults also bring their children on holiday with them. Here's the first guidebook written for children. It contains details of the country, its history, culture, legends and places to visit. And as its title implies it also gives lots of ideas for the inevitable rainy day. Activity pages appear throughout the book. Finally there's a special pocket built into the back cover in which the child can keep tickets, leaflets and other memorabilia of the holiday. All in all, this is a book for children that adults won't want to be without!
