The Adventure of Daniel Boom aka Loud Boy Book #4: Grow Up! REVIEW and GIVEAWAY! CLOSED
Of course we are all excited for summer and the break we will have from school and homework. However, this does not mean we should allow our children to slack on their reading. This is why we need to help them find books that they can enjoy and will want to pick to see what happens next. This series I am about to introduce to you is one of those books.
"The Adventure of Daniel Boom aka Loud Boy is a series filled with storylines that are bursting with superheroes, belly laughs and action packed adventure and is critically acclaimed by numerous education and library trade publications. Author D.J. Steinberg’s writing is smart and funny with puns a-plenty and the kid-friendly graphic novel format is ideal for middle graders and reluctant readers."
The Adventure of Daniel Boom aka Loud Boy Book #4: Grow Up! Introduction:
Loud boy and his friends are in trouble again. This is the adventure to end all adventures, as cheif bad guy doctor doctor comes out of hiding to put an end to his young nemeses once and for all.
Review:
Although my son is only five years old, I knew this would be a book he enjoyed. My son loves superheroes and I felt he would enjoy the fact that the heroes were children like himself. I was very excited to get the latest book of the series "The Adventure of Daniel Boom aka Loud Boy book #4: Grow Up!.
Of course "mother knows best" and my son has loved this book. I was very happy to see that it was written with a comic strip feel (My son really enjoys reading these types of books). Both my son and I found it funny how Daniel Boom and his friends use their bad habits and/or behavior to save the world. It shows that you can take those weaknesses and turn them around to do something good for yourself and others. The book is very creative and entertaining. There is also some suspense which kept my son guessing what would happen next. After reading book #4 my son is excited to go back and have me read books 1-3 to him. I already planned on making this purchase since this will be a great book for my son to go back and read himself once he gets older.
