Customer Reviews

the amazon review

This book is a beautifully illustrated, fun, and interesting book. The pictures are so amazing and it feels like I am really there, (or wish that I was there). This book is a educational book because it has maps that show where the author, Peter Lourie, went when he was exploring. It tells what cities are there, and also where the bodies of water are. This is a fun book because the author, Peter Lourie, gives wonderful writing like this: Now as we left the tribal outpost and headed back the way we had come, we glided down river with the soft, slow, ancient current. An interesting part was when the Indians put the poison in the water where the fish would swim and it would be easier to catch the fish. This is why this book is the best!

MY SONS, 14 AND 12 LOVED READING THIS BOOK.

I have two step-sons, ages 14 and 12. They are not avid readersbut were fascinated by this book. We are planning a trip to Brazil andamong the books I suggested for them was this one. I picked it up at on a recent trip to New York. My kids found it a great adventure book and motivated them even more to want to visit brazil.

This Is The Best Book I Ever Seen

This is a good book because it gives a lot of detail of what is going on in it.
