Review Highlights:
My kids like that the book is hand drawn, and looks similar to kids' drawings. They love that the main character is a dog, since they are dog-obsessed, and think that it's awesome that Dooley Bear goes on adventures all over the world. The books introduce new locations and countries to the kids, and teaches them about some of the activities that those cities or countries are known for.
When we read the Dooley Bear books, we bring out maps to work on map reading skills, utilize the internet to learn about different locations and activities mentioned in the book (Niagara Falls, Toronto, and a sugar bush), cook the foods mentioned in the book (in Ontario it was: Canadian maple syrup on pancakes, poutine, bacon birthday cake, and back bacon - we tried all except bacon birthday cake), learned about hockey (and was able to see our cousins play and win a tournament game), and learned about different plants and animals that are native to Canada.
The parent handbook makes this book a powerful learning tool. The author offers excellent enhancement questions that promote thoughtful bonding and reflective learning opportunities.
