The Adventures of Left-Hand Island is about a group of 5 year old children who are on a mysterious island shaped like a left hand. They are culturally diverse yet are bonded in friendship - you might say: "They had NO one at all, but they all had each other.And they got along well, like jam and peanut butter." In every book the children explore different parts of the island, which represent different parts of the world with its unique wildlife and landscape. Once the series is complete, the reader will have experienced three hundred different animals specific to their region in the world. This adventure fantasy has an educational element that is propelled along with songs, comedy, suspense and mythical creatures. Every book is sure to inspire and captivate the imagination of little ones.
Book 6 continues the Australian adventure as the children explore the upper part of Pointer Peninsula's "oddback." An "outback" refers to wild country and rough terrain, while an "oddback" is where the children encounter odd creatures. Some animals have an Australian or Aussie accent and many animals have silly names. The monster images may be disturbing for some readers, so viewer discretion is advised. Overall, this fantastical journey is certainly worth experiencing every page. These books are intended to be read to children in those precious bonding years and will also serve to delight early readers. The books are written in an appealing rhyming cadence which makes them as much fun to read as well as to listen. Every book in this series is a delightful weave of fact and fantasy while being highly entertaining and informative.
