The vibrant illustrations in this book were very appealing! My kid is 4 and we read this together and he loved the map, and he came up with a lot of great questions about what was going on, which always indicates to me that he was invested and interested- a win!

A cute little story that starts with three friends lying on the ground looking at clouds. When one wonders where clouds go when we can't see them anymore, another answers "Maybe they wind up where the world ends." The three decide to find out where that is exactly, and set out on a journey (after making careful preparations first- you can never have too many peanuts on a journey). They travel through many interesting places, getting vague directions as they go, and just having lots of fun, until they finally reach their destination. The story meanders as they do, and we don't really get to see where the world ends, though we are given a hint after the story, where a map shows the journey the trio made. The artwork throughout is fantastic, filled with fun little details to keep youngsters engaged.

This is a very cute book where some friends set off to find the end of the world. No one knows exactly where it is, but it’s over there. The ending is a bit confusing because they just say they found the end of the world. You have to wait and see the map to show where it is. But the map is flat. I wish they had shown it as a globe. Overall the book is successful, I just want too much.

'Where The World Ends' by Davide Cali with illustrations by Maria Dek is a picture book about three friends exploring on a warm, sunny day.

One lazy day, three friends name Zip, Trik and Flip are watching the clouds and wondering where they go. They decide go to where the world ends. They meet lots of creatures along the way and travel in all kinds of ways. Will they ever find the place where the world ends?

I enjoyed this pleasant story and the fun characters that were found within. The illustrations are fun. I wish the font had been a bit larger to make reading it a bit easier.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Princeton Architectural Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

I thought the story was cute but I felt like not much came from it in the end. I felt like I wanted more to happen. The art style is not for me bit it was cute.

Thank you to the publishers and Netgalley for the e-ARC.

Where the World Ends by Davide Cali and illustrated by Maria Dek is an adventure story. It’s written in the same vein as Jon Klassen and Mac Barnett. Three friends are determined to get to where the world ends because they want to know what’s there. It’s easy to follow, even for the youngest of readers, because the three friends need to stick together, power through, and don’t listen to naysayers.

The story is simple but the illustrations are lush and beautiful. I have to admit, the illustrations are really my favorite part of the book. We had an electronic copy of the book but this is one that readers will want to have a paper copy of. The three friends are going through nature and the illustrator doesn’t skimp on the blues and greens and oranges.

I’m a sucker for picture books that are gorgeous and this doesn’t disappoint. If you don’t have it in your budget to buy, get your local library to purchase a copy. It’d be a great storytime addition.

Where the World Ends is an illustrated, kitschy story about three friends who decide they want to try to adventure to the end of the world after wondering where clouds end up. The illustrations are fun for the kids (a bit odd to me but my 4 year old absolutely loved them and that is truly what matters!). The color palette is delightful and engaging.

The story is a bit clunky in places but overall it is a great story that we had fun reading aloud together. My biggest complaint is that the font is oddly tiny, it's almost a bit difficult to do a read-aloud with it because it's so thin and small in comparison to the vastness of the pictures.

When asking my toddler how she liked the story, she said she thought it was okay but that the pictures were the big seller for her. Would we buy this book? No, probably not. But it would be one we would grab at the library due to how eye-catching it was for her.

Visually does not appeal to me at all but I did like the story. I am curious about other books in the series. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my digital review copy.

The 3 animal friends tried to find out where the world ends. It's a cute idea and a kind of fun adventure.
If this book is for 3-6 years old to read, I'm sure the text has too many words in it.

Where does the world end?

Super ADORABLE book! 3 year old approved!

This is the perfect book for those rambunctious toddlers that like a little adventure but also likes to figure things out. Where the World Ends is a bright and colorful book that is guaranteed to keep your child's attention. The pages are busy busy which is a great thing when you have a busy body child. They can keep their self entertained by trying to find things on the pages while you read them the page! You can also get creative and make your own adventure with the map created in this book.

A book you Definitely need in your home!

The only down side to this book was, it was a little short. I could've used more pages and maybe more maps!

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me this ARC in exchange for my honest feedback!

What would you do on one of those long, nothing-to-do afternoons? Follow the clouds to the end of the world with your friends?! Yep! We follow critter friends Zip, Trick, and Flip as they do just that: packing snacks and asking for help from friendly (and some not-so-friendly!) town characters along the way. Every page of this book is pure, fun, eye-candy! I love the bright, friendly, expressively hand-painted illustrations that are full to the brim with a modern sense of whimsy, and the intense colors are a delight. Kids will want to read it over and over again just to see what’s going on with everyone on each page, there’s so much to see. And the message of the story is so great: Follow your wonders! Use your imagination! And don’t mind what anyone else thinks! And it’s way more fun to do with a few like-minded friends. It’s so much fun to be a curious kid, isn’t it?

This was such a fun adventurous read!

I love the three characters. They are so cute and fun!

I loved narrating this story while showing the illustrations. It was just pure fun!

I love the illustrations which scream innocence and colors! Unique and totally genuine!

However, the only problem was the small font size. Wish it was of a different font style and bigger.


Thanks to the publisher and the authors for the book.

A delightfully odd, imaginatively illustrated adventure with an abrupt ending and an intriguing cast.

This book was okay. I didn't really like how Zip, Trik, and Flip found where the world ends but the reader didn't get to see what the end of the world looks like. All the reader sees is a top of a hill which is a little disappointing.

I got this on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!
This is a really nice picture book, and I really enjoyed both the art style and the story itself. An element of the story I really really liked was the emphasis on the long journey and the different opinions of the people they meet along the way.

I wanted more from this story but it works. The three set off to find the end of the world and connect with all sorts of characters along the way. Eventually, they find the end of the world and turn around for the long journey home. Readers will appreciate the humor when they turn to the final page and see the map the characters drew to get there. Love the math slipped in with the graphed map. I felt like the characters were fungible as Cali did not even take time to identify who was who. The artwork is simple and allows readers to flesh it out in their minds. Families/classes could build from this story and create their own maps as they read this.

Zip, Trik and Flip, three animal friends pack some peanuts and explore their neighborhood searching for the “end of the world.” The attractive and busy illustrations will give attentive viewers a lot of details to pore over. However, the rather wordy text doesn’t include the same level of entertaining detail as the colorful illustrations. The three friends encounter a variety of helpful adults who know more about the world than the three friends. Readers may notice evidence of this as the “huge expanse of water” that Aip, Trick and Blik see is renamed the “lake” by the boatman. A map at the end of the story shows a dotted line with symbols for the places they visited. Some young readers may debate what the places “really” were as opposed to what the characters imagined they were visiting. Although this book could be engrossing to the right reader, most young people will find that it demands more effort than the story deserves.

Where the World Ends is a strange, half baked kid's story with IKEA-esque illustrations. 3 animal friends who are bored become curious about where the world ends, then abruptly take off on a hike to find out.

It's a cute idea, and parts like turning the page for a mountain adventure were cute, whimsical moments. Those they meet along the way aren't significant and don't seem to have any role except to define the setting. At one point, a "community service employee" tells them they are not allowed to cross a path, and they do anyway. Seeing how there's little explanation, moral, or context and that this is for young readers, that's annoying content from a parent's perspective. Additionally, this wasn't an easy or pleasant read-aloud.

Thank you NetGalley and Princeton Architectural Press for a copy of this ebook in exchange for my honest review.

This book was different but kind of fun! The illustrations are cute! I didn't totally love this book, but I think a lot of kids and parents will enjoy it and find the funny parts of it.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC!

I liked the premise and the illustrations. The execution is okay. I just wished we got a more satisfying ending.
