I just happened to stop by the local bookstore next to our new library and came across this exciting book full of fantasy and adventure. Our son-in-law teaches 7th grade and this is a great addition for any home or school library. This book is sure to attract the reluctant reader, too. The illustrations by Rodney Matthews are exciting as well. I am a huge fan of holding a book in your hands and enjoying the magic and creativity that sparks one's imagination and thirst of curiosity to find out what happens next and how it all is going to work out in the end! This is a good one. In fact, I think this is my first Usborne book.

Nice snippet...Here's a look at mine...
ReplyDeleteAre the tales told in verse form or is that just a quote embedded in the text?
