Jake and Miller’s Big Adventure

Jake and Miller’s Big Adventure: A Prepper’s Book for Kids by Bernie Carr is a really interesting book for kids age 4-7 year old.

Miller is Jake’s dog and both of them love to go on adventures together.  Early in the morning Jake work Miller up and told him that they were going on an adventure together.

Miller was quite hesitant on going on an adventure.  He rather stay at home in bed then go outdoors with Jake.  He was worried about not having enough food to eat,  not having fresh water to drink, getting bitten by bugs and not having a place to sleep among other things.

Jake assured his dog that there is nothing to worry about. He would bring along sufficient food for both himself and Miller. He would also  bring along water bottles with build in filters and pack a tent where they could sleep comfortably in.

He would bring flashlights with extra batteries, bug repellent. Mylar sleeping bags to keep them warm in the cold and even a hot air balloon to travel in if they got tired of walking.  Jake had everything planned out for the big adventure he will be having with Miller.

My thoughts

I found this children’s story book really fun to read together with  Tiger girl, my three year old.  Both of us really enjoyed the story and also the illustrations with accompanied each page of the storybook.

The story helps stimulate a child’s imagination and shows that you need not be afraid and it is never to early to start prepping.  If you are prepared nothing can be too difficult or scary to handle.

Super Soccer Boy and the Alien Invasion

Dominique Book Review, Parenting and Kids kids book

Book Cover

Super Soccer Boy and the Alien Invasion by Judy Brown is the latest book in the Super Soccer Boy series which I have read with Doggie boy.

We have read two other books in this series- the Attack of the Giant Slugs and the Monster Mutants and Doggie boy got hooked on this series of books.

In this particular book Harry Gribble encountered aliens of the icy sort who threatened to take over the earth by converting  it to their own home.

The Middletown Mini stars, which Harry was playing for had a good chance of winning the trophy this year in the annual football tournament.

Unfortunately the weather had turned crazy since the aliens arrived. The deep freeze that they have caused have resulted in the matches being cancelled and the possibility of the tournament being suspended. This would be Harry and his team mates greatest nightmare.

Harry and his best friend Jake had to convince the icy aliens who had landed on earth to leave for the planet  Pluto before earth freezes over and everyone dies.

My thoughts

I’ve previously share snippets of the book in the article- 3 Tips on Encouraging Reading in Reluctant Readers. I found that the Super Soccer Boy series books are excellent half chapter books and the book on the Alien Invasion matched up to our expectation.

Judy’s writing is really very engaging and it makes for an easy read for a Grade 2 student. The graphics on almost every page and the short comic snippets in between the chapters make it easier for the child to follow the storyline and also helps them understand the story better.

We will certainly be on the look out for the remaining books in the Super Soccer Boy series.
