It's getting to be an annual event, getting together with some old friends once a year to do some sort of adventure. This year we met near Munising, Michigan and on Saturday, September 17, we kayaked along the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Then on Sunday we hiked 9.3 miles along the top of some of the same rocks we kayaked by the day before. Good times.

Kids Book Review

Breaking Out of the Bungle Bird

Aaron Reynolds / ZonderKids

ISBN: 0-310-70956-3 / $12.99

Move over Dr. Seuss. There’s a new storybook in town based on Proverbs 13:10, stressing, “Those who take advice are wise.”

Breaking Out of the Bungle Bird, originally penned by Aaron Reynolds in 1970, is a delightful story about a "mosquita" named Fleeya and a butterfly named Sue. They are best friends until the day they are eaten by a bungle bird. Now the two insects are trying to think of a plan to escape from the stomach of the bird before digestion cascades further.

Using rhyming and humorous dialog between the friends, the wisdom of taking advice shines as Fleeya engages her publicized plan and becomes free, while Sue …well. She should have listen to her friend.

Colorful and clever illustrations by Pete Whitefield highlight this hardback book targeted for ages up to eight. This should be a popular story for it’s fun and valuable lesson.
