When I first got the chance to review this book, I was excited because my children (my daughter especially) loves new books and loves being read to. Once I downloaded the book via Amazon, and she saw the cover, she would constantly ask for me to read the book to her. Now, if the cover of the book can lure her in that much, that's a win in my book.
So we start reading and the illustrations in the book has her enthralled. She is actively listening and pointing (interacting). I was actually impressed because as much as she likes being read to, there aren't many books that can hold her attention long enough through to the end. So again, kudos to the illustrator!
Now, on to the story. The story itself for me, was a little scattered and short; it just felt like little pieces were missing in between. However, my daughter thoroughly enjoyed it and was asking questions about other people (cultures) and animals so another win in my book. I liked how the author introduced the animals in a fun way but wish they had chosen more exotic animals or animals native to where they were representing in the story (the Amazon).
Overall, I thought it was a good book for children and I applaud the intention of the author, ie., introducing different cultures and animals. Great illustrations to accompany a good children's story.
Pick up a copy for your children and start your own adventure here on Amazon !!
