The glossary that accompanies all of the Alvin Ho outings is also less fanciful and more informative than usual, offering kid-friendly but mostly accurate factoids of the history, culture and must-see attractions of China. Meanwhile, though, Alvin’s narration of the guidebook provides young readers with a more reasonable visit to all of the sites in and around Beijing, and he and his long-suffering dad have a lovely day being creatively lost. Alvin’s travel terrors don’t stop there: he refuses to ride the elevator to and from his relatives’ apartment on the thirty-second floor, cuts short their visit to the Great Wall because of a panic attack, loses his father’s passport, and freaks out over pit toilets in the Forbidden City. Worried about needing room in his suitcase for souvenirs, he wears all of his clothes at once worried about getting through security, he takes all his clothes off worried about everything else, he packs his PDK (personal disaster kit) with quite a few prohibited items.
