Around the World Adventures of Max and Jack created for young children to understand
more about other countries and children from around the world. It is less of a
story book and more of a fact book. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t interesting.
Max and his pet dog
take you on a trip to a new country in each book where they meet new boys and
girls and their animal friends who take them on a guided tour where they see
some of the wonderful things of their country and learn some of the interesting things of that country.
The whole purpose of
these books is to increase tolerance between children of different nations. But
I think it is also a great resource for young school children to get facts for
early school reports too. There are excellent pictures to look at if families
will be traveling to these countries that could be used to help spark the
interest of the child in preparation before the trip.
The pictures are
clear and crisp. The only thing I didn’t like about the pictures was the one
page where the world map was oriented 90 degrees to the rest of the book. I
would have like to have seen the page oriented the same way as the rest of the
book.
The text is simple
with the letters like “g” being written as we do when we print which is helpful
for young children learning to read.
Max talked like a
child which was very appropriate. The book is a very good book for reading with
a parent. I think parents and children will enjoy it. I gave it 4 stars out of
5.
Thank you to the
author for providing the book in exchange for a fair and honest review. A positive
opinion was not required. All thoughts are my own.
About the Author:
I am a 28-year-old mother of my little princess
Rachel, I have done a variety of different jobs only to realise that writing
and illustrating are my passion.
My vision since I was a young girl was that if people knew
more about other people from different countries, cultures, religions and
races, the world would be a better place through better understanding of one
another. That is where I got the idea of creating the series “Around the World
Adventures of Max and Jack” back in year 11 of high school.
A little boy and his dog travel to many different countries around the world meeting other boys and girls and learning about their way of life.
Children are the future of the world and values they will carry for life are usually imbedded in their minds during childhood. If children of the world read Max and Jack and follow their adventures hopefully acceptance of other people will be imbedded in their minds for life. And hopefully the world will be a better place for all in the future.
