Customer Reviews

a book that brings focus, imagination and delight!

My daughter is 22 years old. But we both remember clearly the fun we had as we read The Trek and tried to find the animals hidden in the city background. They are so cleverly hidden, that a child cannot remember where they are, from 1 reading to the next. And we are still not sure we ever found them all!This book fosters imagination as the child reads it, and helps the child to find wonders in clouds - and everywhere else in the world! It is wonderful.

Children are mesmerized!

I am an elementary school teacher who loves to read aloud to her students. My students are addicted to Ann Jonas' books. They especially loved this one because of all the searching for the different animals. It is even better than the I Spy books. The children can't wait to read another one of her books.
