It is time for a FIRST Wild Card Tour book review! If you wish to join the FIRST blog alliance, just click the button. We are a group of reviewers who tour Christian books. A Wild Card post includes a brief bio of the author and a full chapter from each book toured. The reason it is called a FIRST Wild Card Tour is that you never know if the book will be fiction, non~fiction, for young, or for old…or for somewhere in between! Enjoy your free peek into the book!
You never know when I might play a wild card on you!
and the book:
The Dragon and The Turtle Go on Safari
WaterBrook Press (January 11, 2011)
Padraig, my friend, it is time for us to be courageous. My little boy (5 yo) loves this book. He wants it read to him often and will even ‘read’ it to his baby brother. It is such a fun adventure. The boys’ imaginations get away from them when they start hearing the sounds of the night. The illustrations are so imaginative as they blend the real and believed causes of the noises. This is a great addition to our shelves, even though it is not long in sitting there.
WaterBrook is having a contest! The winner will receive their own backyard safari. Enter by February 11, 2011. All of the details can be found on their site.
