Spartan and The Green Egg

review 1: I was fortunate to receive a copy of 'Spartan and the Green Egg: A trip to the Rainforest' through Goodreads. The book is the first in a children's graphic story series and focuses around four children who learn how to communicate with aliens. The alien, which takes the shape of a green egg transports the children to various locations so that they can learn about the world around them. In 'A trip to the Rainforest' the four children learn a bit about the Amazon and the dangers of over logging.On the whole, I found the story lacking. The book was long enough that it was geared for children agaed 8-9 years, but the information shared was limited and geared towards younger children, who might be less likely to sit and read through the book. The facts presented are a bit ... moreloose as well. If I'm going to read something educational to my kids I like when the information presented is solid. The concepts behind the store were great. I like the idea of promoting imagination and inquiry in kids. I think it is important to teach children how important the rain forest is (especially since their parents don't seem to grasp the concept!); I'm just not sure if the author was able to push these ideals well enough.I think the illustrations suited the book and were well done. I spent more time focusing on them, then the story itself. I particularly enjoyed the maps on the front and rear cover.Unfortunately, I am unlikely to search for the other books in the series, but if I came across one in the library I might flick through to see the graphics and theme.
review 2: Spartan & the Green Egg is a story told in comic book format. The story is about the adventure of Spartan and his friends Max, Katie, and Tor and their dog Grimm. The story starts off with Spartan discovering instruction from a book that his father bought him to contact aliens. Once they contacted the aliens, a green egg appeared and took them on an adventure in the Amazon rainforest. From there they learn about the natives living in the Amazon rainforest and how the outside world is impacting it.The story is quite educational about the rainforest and the effects it has in this world. It is a great way to teach our children of being environmental responsible for our current and future generations. The choice we make on the rainforest could impact us negatively in the future. The story is may be for readers from 5 years old and up but adults can also read this book and be educated about the rainforest. less
