Editorial Reviews

The Travel Adventures Of PJ Mouse - Series Introduction If you had to describe the classic children's books of yesteryear in one word, what word would you choose? When I asked my husband that question earlier today, he picked the same adjective to describe his favourite children's books as I did mine: charm. It's rare that I come across a modern day children's book that takes me back to my childhood and reminds me of all of the things that made me fall in love with the magical world of books and reading when I was a child - so it's with great pleasure that I introduce you to not one, but two books that are destined to become classics in the wonderful world of children's literature! Are you ready to delve into a wonderful new series by Gwyneth Jane Page called The Travel Adventures Of PJ Mouse? - see more at Create With Joy This book is utterly adorable. I think any book that shows travel and the world to a child is a great thing. The entire adventure with PJ made me feel like I was in Canada traveling with him. He gets to hike on a glacier how cool is that? - See more at: http://thecubicleescapee.com/the-travel-adventures-of-pj-mouse/#sthash.cd38lo69.dpuf This is such a cute book! Poor PJ is dropped in a puddle after he's bought in a store but Emily finds him and he turns out to be a lucky mouse because he gets to go on a vacation through Canada. The Travel Adventures of PJ Mouse in Canada encourages children to use their imagination as well as teaching about some of the exciting places in Canada. They'll never realize that they're learning while they enjoy reading this story! - see more at Bound4Escape This is the cutest book! The illustrations look like they are done in watercolour or colour pencil. They beautifully depict the places Emily's family and PJ travel to along with PJ's adventures. The stories are very easy to read for beginning readers and short adventures for a quick bedtime story. This book would make any child happy for a book to read and to have read to them. This is the first in a series and I am excited to find out what happens in the next book. I love this series. You get great information and wonderful pictures. I can't wait to see what PJ does next. - see more at jbronderbookreviews I have yet to find a book that replaces my favourite children's book, but The Travel Adventure Of PJ Mouse (both of the books that I am reviewing) comes a close second. These are the types of stories I want to share with my friend's children, G & B because it's about adventure and exploring. I feel that adventuring and exploring, as in exploring the world around you is missing in many children's books these days. S0 for me Gwyneth and Megan have hit the nail on the head. I love Megan's illustrations, they are so cute! I love illustrations that look like they have been drawn or painted, I'm not a huge fan of digitally done drawing. They have a place, just perhaps not in children's books in my opinion. As for the story, I really liked it. I have family in Canada, so it's been a joy for me to read about some of the places they talk fondly about. I like the interaction between PJ, Emily and her siblings, you can tell that the siblings are very close. It's their quick thinking that saves PJ when he gets into a little difficulty. - see more at Maddie & Books
