![]() ![]() I have to say that I learned quite a bit. There are also pictures of the countries’ national flags at the beginning of the book and then again as a test at the end. ![]() Written as if Captain Frankie is talking to us over the plane’s intercom, each wonder is introduced by a poem and then there is some age-appropriate factual information, together with a simple quiz for the children to do.Īt the end of the book, Captain Frankie asks the children to name out loud the seven natural wonders they have just visited. These span all four continents and whilst I had heard of some of them (for example, Mount Everest in the Himalayas and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef), others I had not (Paricutin Volcano in Mexico) or would not have thought of (The Grand Canyon in Colorado, USA). Author Anna Othitis, originally from Zimbabwe and now living in America, introduces us to her son, Captain Frankie of Angelic Airlines and the story sees him fly us around the World to visit our planet’s “seven natural wonders”. This is a lovely little book and is the second in an on-going travel series My First Travel Books, for children. ![]()
