Ever since Finn was born, and even before then, we would read to him. We wanted to show him reading from an early age. Now he loves us to read the same books, over, and over, and over. But it is the sweetest thing, when he likes to pick out a book and climb into our laps.
The Grand Expedition by Emma Adbage
Dad might offer a suggestion or two, but this expedition is just for them!
Of course, they will have to bring coffee and pickles and blankets and a cozy
tent. And, just in case, a jump rope to use as a lasso. They set up camp in the
lee of a small mountain (or, in their backyard) and get ready for an evening
of fun. But when the pickles are gone and the mosquitoes come out, what’s
to be done? The Grand Expedition is the quietly comic story of two kids and
their dad and the everyday adventures that make life great.
Do you like this book?
Nah. They don't even have an adventure! It's just boring!
What's your favorite part of the book?
I like when the little boy says he has to poop. And they eat pickles. I like pickles. (Just to clarify, they do not eat pickles at the same they poop)
What do you think of the cover?
I like the tent because I like camping.
Do you want me to read it again?
Mm, nah.
The Grand Expedition is an adorable story about two children who decide they need to go on an adventure, just the two of them. They busy themselves packing what they need, and then set out on their very own adventure.
They have fun at first, but then they get bored. So they decide to go home (Since one of the boys needs to poop anyway!) and spend the night with their dad instead.
This was a very short book, with adorable illustrations that look like they were actually drawn by a child, in a good way of course.. I think it adds to the story.
The story itself isn't much. They pack, they go on a very short adventure, they get bored and come home. I would have liked a little bit more in the book.
