From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
Grade 3-6–In short, amusing chapters, a boy describes his family's trips to off-the-beaten-path locations in North America and Mexico. Though he and his little brother would prefer to go to Disneyland, their parents insist on avoiding tourist areas and taking the road less traveled–usually with unexpected, sometimes hair-raising results. For example, the family remains steadfast in their Maine beach cottage during Hurricane Bob, is stalked by alligators in the Okefenokee Swamp, is pummeled by tumbleweeds in an Arizona sandstorm, and encounters revolutionaries during a drive through Mexico. Although there is very little character or plot development, these brief adventures are sprinkled with humor, moments of discovery, and an appreciation for the beauty and diversity of less-lauded destinations. Written with simple language and adorned with amusing cartoon sketches, this title is a good choice for those new to chapter books or for struggling readers.–Corinda J. Humphrey, Los Angeles Public Library |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
We discovered this book, quite by accident. It is a wonderful read-aloud for any age. My 7 year old was so taken with the book that he insisted we search for the sequel as soon as we were done (fortunately, there is one). Not only did we both laugh aloud at the family antics, retold with wonderful humour and illustrations, but we discovered places to visit on future trips. Each chapter tells the story of the family's trip to an out-of-the-way place. |
