Loved it! 😍
A very engaging book that beautifully illustrates the Seven Wonders of the World!
“Jesse and the Seven Wonders of the World,” is a charming and beautifully illustrated story book about a child who magically flies to the Seven Wonders of the World. It is also a travel book, maybe your child’s first, where learning about distant lands is both interesting and fun.
This story is also a mystery, a mystery with an important life lesson, and it is Jesse and a loveable one-eyed dog who are bent on solving it. Along the way, they run into a few problems, like Mount Everest and Buster Stone, but their resilience remains strong. Maybe you can solve the mystery before our heroes do. That would be really cool, and the wonder crown would be yours.
Jesse and the Seven Wonders of the World explores the seven wonders of the world through the eyes of a child, Jesse, and his one-eyed mutt, Pilot. Jesse's dreams are vivid and in colour, so the young reader will find each adventure really interesting. If you are looking for a book to enjoy with your child that is adventurous and fun, then look no more, this book is for you!
Bernard Weber, a Swiss-born Canadian, created a list of the Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, based on the votes of millions of people around the world. The seven wonders found in this book are from that list.
I found this story adventurous and interesting. It uses rhymes to describe each wonder and to provide a history lesson to its readers. But the best part is the puzzle Jesse must solve on his own.
The pictures are beautiful and accessible to all children. They splendidly illustrate the story and help to build the plot as Jesse magically flies around the world.
In sum, I found this book very engaging, and I believe it would make a wonderful gift for any child who loves adventure. While it seems to be geared towards younger readers, I believe older ones will appreciate the historicity and information. Pick up a copy of Jesse and the Seven Wonders of the World at your local bookstore or online.
