WOW. This book is SUPER pretty. The illustrations, the format. Okay, all of it is so beautiful. It makes me want to go outside and have my own adventure. I think this book will really convinced a lot of people to go to adventure. Perfect for kids and for parents to have an adventure together. And don't worry, this book will help you to have a fun trip together as it filled with tips, a little story here and there, the author's experiences and also set of list as a guideline for the kind of adventure you choose to do.
Great book! :)
Dear Unknown Adventurer,
I've found your book and loved every page of it. The wonderful illustrations and interesting information make me want to go out and explore nature.
Thank you for the survival tin instructions, check lists and instructions on where to camp, how to make fire and cook (I might not try the desperate meals, though), and how to use the bathroom, how to find/built shelter and what to do if I get lost.
The Lost Book of Adventure will spark the imagination of readers of all ages!
The book beautifully illustrates different camp/shelter set-ups and locations, guides for survival and safety, tips for planning explorations, equipment/supply lists, and instructions. I enjoyed the brief stories of danger and adventure across continents written by the unknown adventurer.
The book contains brief yet detailed information that older readers (middle grade and up) will appreciate but the illustrations and more simple instructions (ex: How to make a bedsheet hammock, planning a bike adventure) will spark a sense of adventure in young readers. My five-year-old daughter was thrilled to learn about treehouse building and backyard camping and her imagination turned planning these activities into some daring adventures!
The Lost Book of Adventure definitely contains a little something for everyone with an adventurous imagination!
Thanks to Quarto Publishing/Frances Lincoln Children's Books and NetGalley for providing me with a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review. The Lost Book of Adventure is scheduled for release on March 5, 2019.
The Lost Book of Adventure by Unknown Adventurer is brilliant throughout. This wonderful book is packed with so much information and a great journal that written in a style like a survival guide but for young children.
It can encourage young people to explore the world around them and involve their parents etc to explore with them. This book could help with their new adventures it is packed with information on wild camping, rafting, exploration, and shelters and dens, plus tips on first aid and tying knots.
Plus, contains expert instructions on wilderness basics:
Like building a fire, what to do if you get lost.
How to build various types of shelters are accompanied by more specific skills culled from many years of experience.......For example:- Baking campfire bread, creating a toothbrush from a twig, making a suture from soldier ants, and even how to pan for gold........What an adventive you could have - even if it's on your back garden.
This book is just Brilliant and great for your next adventures.....
Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
The illustrations in this book make it worth a look just on their own - absolutely beautiful! I could see kids with a knack for adventure getting really into this book, especially before a camping trip. Would make a good gift.
This book is brilliant! It's gorgeous, while at the same time practical and entertaining. I loved the desperate meals information. If you're hungry enough, I suppose you'll eat anything. And kids will surely discover the "Pooping in the Wild" page--maybe sooner than parents would like! :)
Reading this beautiful book created the desire to go explore the world myself. It would make a great gift. I read the digital download, but I'm sure it's even more beautiful in its hardcover format.
Great book! If I still taught fourth grade, I'd buy a copy for my classroom, It's a bit too advanced for the age level I'm currently working with.
Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to review.
I enjoyed this beautiful guide to adventuring. This would be a wonderful gift for any child interested in exploring the world around them.
Thank you for the opportunity of reading this one!..
I felt it was a handy book to give to. 13 year old . as a gift.
very instructional.
I love the disclaimer at the beginning of " don't doing this without adult supervision"
Very oriented to boy scouts, adventure and survival tips.. from how to build a tent or shelter to how to treat animal bites..
The illustrations were very beautiful!
This book not only is a guide to adventure, is a work of art within the pages. Each aspect of the book’s adventure theme is crammed with advice, knowledge and beauty.
Definitely for an older, emotionally mature child but others may appreciate the visuals.
