ISLAND BREEZES
The boys went on an overnight safari to Mount Sillymanborrow. Don’t you just love that mountain’s name?
It’s a long night and the two friends have to face several dangers. Will Roger ever get to tell the legend of Sillymanborrow? Or will it just be too scary in the dark?
At the end of the book, the authors guide you into interacting with your child regarding Deuteronomy 31:6. “Be strong and courageous.”
I found both the story and illustrations delightful. I think you will, too.
