Our Thoughts

My oldest son loves to learn more about volcanoes.   So when I had the opportunity to review “The Case of the Missing Mountain” I didn’t hesitate one second because I wanted him to know more about Mount St. Helens.

What I didn’t expect is how this book was presented.   I thought it would be a story explaining what happened to Mount St. Helens.   But the book is packed with activities that will make your child dig for the answers and learn at the same time.    Pretty ingenious!    Alexandre had a blast to decode the problems to find the answers that will permit him to discover more about what happen to Mount St. Helens.

Also included in the book are science experiments.   To be honest, the temperature here in Ontario is still a bit cold to do experiments outside.   So we have decided to wait a bit until we get warmer temperatures so we can enjoy them more.   Personally, I am looking forward to do the leaf animal challenge with the kids while we are camping.    It will be a great activity to entertain them for a little while.  *grin*

Alexandre, age 9 3/4, reviewed the book for me.   He enjoyed doing the mystery challenges.

I like it because it’s Christian and because there is fun activities as well as cool experiments.   I particularly liked the funny and weird decoders.

At the end of the book, you can also find some jokes, missions to become an Official Mystery Ranger as well as being able to download a special certificate for the hard work done throughout the book.

See for yourself what the book is all about!

On another note, I would like to suggest that future books would be bind better.   The book my son has is falling apart at the end because he opened it so often.    Still, even with this little flaw, the book is amazing and will occupy your child for a long period of time.  

The Case of the Missing Mountain is available at your favourite bookstore, even amazon.ca.
