An illustrated travelogue about a newly graduated couple's adventures in Asia and Africa, as they live together for the first time. I loved hearing about the different places where they lived and visited, and the cultural differences they encountered. The narration is upbeat, and the lively charcoal illustrations suit it. At times it felt like the brief, diplomatic letters you might send home for family and friends to read. But you do get to hear about real challenges they face as a new couple and as foreigners. Overall a good, enjoyable read--especially if you're a travel fiend, like me. (I do wish it had been edited a little better--I found too many errors.)… (meer)
