Adventures in the Ice Age by Linda Bailey is part of the Good Times Travel Agency series. We checked it out from the library last week and M picked it up as soon as we got home and didn’t stop reading until she was done. As soon as she closed it she said “are there more of these?” I went right to the library’s website and requested too more: Adventures in Ancient Egypt and Adventures with the Vikings.
In the series, the three Binkerton children enter the Good Times Travel Agency where Mr. Pettigrew’s magic guidebooks whisk them off to a different time and place. The story of their adventures is told in graphic novel style on big two page spreads. Boxes at the bottom of most pages add to the factual information you can glean from the story.
This week’s Non-Fiction Monday Round Up is at The Miss Rumphius Efect.
We just found this one at the library last week too! And my older son is finally asking about history involving people–up til now its been all animals–so we’re going to check out the Ancient Egypt edition as well.
Sounds like a great deal of fun. With a name like Pettigrew there’s got to be some magic along the way I guess!
Oh, I remember those. Too fun!
