review 1: Tacky and camp. Yes, the adventures are as fun and silly as you would expect our odd bird to have. Not sure if this would work in preschool--how many of them have camping experiences that they can relate to? It may be hard for them to see the humor as to how Tacky does things...differently. Then gain, perhaps not. I'd have to see. But it would work in a lap-read (where some things could be explained) or a read-alone. School-age should enjoy it. All Tacky funs will enjoy this as part of the Tacky canon.
review 2: Tacky goes to camp was a very fun book. Not just for children but was fun for me to read as well. There is a series of the book and would be a great way to start a unit with the children or read aloud a new one everyday. It is about a small penguin and ... moreall of his friends going to camp. They do all kinds of fun activities each and everyday. One night they are at camp they decide to tell scary stories while eating smore's. When it come to Tacky story time, they didn't think the story was scary at all. Little did they know that Tacky's story would come true! When the penguins are in trouble and cant get Tacky to wake up, it actually turned out that Tacky saved their lives in the end. The illustrations in this book were good, but maybe could have been a little more colorful and clear. Overall the story line was fun, but the pages were a little crammed, because they staked pictures on top of one another. It had a lot going on so would be for probably second or third grade. I would definitely recommend these series of books to teachers and their classrooms. I think children would love them! less
