No prep is required. The book can be read cold. Parents might want to have a globe or a map handy to show where the reader is located in relation to the Prince's stops. A child pointing at a picture of a building in a magazine or asking 'where does Grandma live?' if she is overseas.
Infants will respond to the high-contrast colors and the recurring figure of the Prince. Toddlers will begin to label the landmarks and recognize the concept of 'traveling' from one page to the next.
