    Marky Polo in Singapore

    Marky Polo in Singapore

    Written by Emily Lim-Leh

    Illustrated by Nicholas Liem

    Ages 3+ | 36 Pages

    Publisher: WS Education | ISBN-13: 9789811258824

    What to Expect: Travel, family, Singapore, consideration for others, sight-seeing

    Like its best-selling companion books in the Marky Polo’s Travels series, Marky Polo in Singapore combines fun narrative and informational content to educate readers about the fantastic sights and sounds of Singapore.

    Marky Polo is excited to show his cousin Merry all over Singapore. The trouble is, Merry has a lot of energy and is not always very considerate of others! As she dashes from one attraction to another, Marky calls on all his friends to help him keep up with her as he shows her around. From the indoor waterfall and Canopy Park at Jewel Changi Airport to the light show at Gardens by the Bay, the architecture at Kampong Gelam, and the fun rides at Skyline Luge and Palawan Beach, Merry bounces from one place to another. She exhausts Marky and his friends until they introduce her to Marina the Otter, who has just as much energy as Merry!

    The comic-style illustration and cartoon characters keep the story fun and relatable, and readers will enjoy laughing at Merry’s antics even as they learn more about the history and culture of Singapore. Alongside the narrative, informational boxes tell readers more about each location the characters visit. At the same time, a “fun facts” section at the end of the book provides more information about the local animals the characters are based on.

    Marky Polo in Singapore is a fun way for readers to experience the wonders of Singapore and learn about being considerate to others simultaneously.
