See my review of book 1 here!!!
This
story is a children’s book and about 35 pages long with lots of fun
pictures. I couldn’t get my son to sit
and read with me. He is too interested
in being outside with his friends right now.
At
the start of the book, it reviews some of the things learned about
Iceland. There are some great lessons
built into this book as well like not judging someone based on rumors and going
out of your way for others even though they may not do the same for you. I always tell my son he needs to be nice to
everyone whether they are nice to him.
He asked me why before, and I asked him how do you feel when someone is
not nice to you. He told me bad, and
then I asked do you want to make someone else feel that way. He told me no. I think this is a lesson every child should
learn and maybe we can stop bullying for good.
Characters in this adventure were James, Syvok, and Matthias from the first adventure, but we also meet another new friend named Helga. This adventure is inspired by a footprint discovered by James, and he wants to see who it belongs to.
I
think this is a great book to sit down and read with new readers. You can use voices and make it an adventure,
and kids will learn that they can see other worlds by reading. When I visit by nieces and nephews, I will
have to read this with them.
Interested in reading??
