Outstanding!, 23 Sep 2001
By Simplicissimus - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vendela in Venice (Hardcover)
This is the best child's book I have seen so far. I read it to my 7 year old son and I loved it as much as he did. I have been to Venice and I learned a lot of new things that I did not know. The story is interesting in a travelogue sort of way and the illustrations are wonderful and varied. The only similar book that comes close would be The Three Golden Keys about Prague. As a previous reviewer stated it would be great if there was a book about every city like this. Although a child's book it is quite substantial, beautifully produced, and well worth the money.

Book Club Review, 9 Feb 2001
By Katerina Canyon "poetkat" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vendela in Venice (Hardcover)
This book was read and reviewed for a mother-daughter book club that I attend. It's a book club of six, nine-year old girls with their respective mothers. None of the girls liked this book. They all found it rather boring. The mothers and I can understand how the girls could find this book dry, but it was highly informative and the girls learned a great deal about Venice. We all agreed that we wanted to see Venice one day. This book was very thorough in explaining the history and traditions of Venice. I personally liked that quality.
We read another book a few months ago entitled "The Diary of Melanie Martin". It was a book about a young girl's travels in Italy. The girls in the book club enjoyed that one much more because they were able to get into the thoughts of the main character. While with this book, they got more information on Venice than on the character. I'm sure if Vendela's adventures were more exciting than informative, they would have enjoyed the book more.

Fun Souvenir of Venice for Children and Adults!, 10 Oct 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vendela in Venice (Hardcover)
I cchecked this out of the library to share some of the magic of Venice with my tweleve year old. She's been at me because I go on and on about La Serenissima, and having read the book, she now understands a bit of why I came to love this city so. I bought the book to keep with my Venice souvenirs as it gives so much information about the city and her sights.
