Quote of the Day
"The Man who does not read good books is no better than the man who can't."
~Mark Twain
Title: Alex and the Lava Pit
Author: Dr. Shreyas Gandhi
Illustrator: Denis Ivanov
Alex and his brother Derek are two young crocodiles that reside in Crocodile Cove. They love adventures and experiencing new things so one day they decide to take their curiosity to a lava pit. They invite their good friend Peaches, who is a parrot, to accompany them. Along the way they explore a waterfall, take a dip with some fish and crack themselves up with Peaches's potty humour. (your kids will experience the same effect upon reading this part). Finally they arrive at their destination and there is an eruption of surprises and anxiety. They discover the the pitfalls of being near a volcano and the joy of being safe when you use your smarts and seek safety. Optimistic Alex immediately looks forward to their next adventure together.
The illustrations add much to the storyline. They are bold, vibrant and cartoonish. The primary colour pallet is engaging and sure to enhance the imagination of any child reading the story.
