Mr. Waldorf Travels to the Wild State of Alaska by By Barbara Terry, Beth Ann Stifflemire and Vladimir Kirichenko

As picture books for children go this offers more than just a pleasant reading experience.   This is the beginning of a series and said series provides information and education in a very entertaining and painless manner.   In addition, the oft used but still extremely effective act of, including a lost or hidden object turns the reading experience into a game.

This specific book deals with a visit to Alaska where Mr. Waldorf, a walking upright and talking Golden Labrador, discovers the sights and sounds of travel.  The inclusion of gold panning and caribou as well as Eskimos should keep the young reader engaged.   Another feature that I particularly like is that the authors infuse the love of reading into Mr. Waldorf's character.  Encouraging children to read should be a goal of every author. 

I recommend the book.
