A Book Review
Azaleah is a third-grader who lives in Washington D.C with two sisters (elder one: a middle schooler named Nia and 4-year-old Tianna) along with her parents in a big white-colored house which she calls her White House. She visits a zoo along with her classmates and teachers as a field trip on one Friday and has a class project to complete over the weekend. As she reaches home from school it turns out to be the most occupied and crazy weekend.
This book is great for kids age 4 - 8 years old. The kids who are learning to read or are independent readers will enjoy it a lot. The language is simple and sentences are small.
The author has included a few things which will help the readers learn at a young age:
- When something doesn't go as per your plan talk three deep breaths instead of getting angry.
- When you have a lot of things on your plate, prepare a things-to-do list so that we do not forget.
- We must always help the little ones in our family and take good care of them.
This book has great illustrations and a good story to captivate young minds.
The main character Azaleah Lane is an 8-year-old strong, focused, intelligent and curious girl who loves to solve a mystery. Her family loves her and is proud of her.
I would like to thank Netgalley and Capstone for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
Synopsis:
Azaleah can't wait for her class field trip to the National Zoo in Washington D.C., especially when her teacher announces the chance to earn extra credit. But when Azaleah gets home, she quickly realizes extra credit isn't as easy as she thought. Azaleah's younger sister Tiana can't find Greenie, her stuffed animal, and she's sure he's been stolen. With Mama at the restaurant and Daddy at work on a big case, it seems Azaleah is the only one available to track down the stolen stuffie. Can Azaleah get to the bottom of the mystery in time to finish her extra credit?
