Book reviews play an essential role in guiding readers towards meaningful and engaging content. They provide insights, critiques, and recommendations that help readers make informed choices about what to read next.
The US Review of Books, a US-based contemporary book review publication run by professional reviewers and editors, stands at the forefront of the industry. It champions the writing community by offering impartial and thorough evaluations, ensuring every author receives equitable visibility and recognition.
Joyce Jacobo of the US Review of Books commended “Our Many Adventures to Frog Island: 10 Adventures in One Book” by Beth Berger-Caldwell.
An enriching tale about friendship between an oak tree, a lonely crow with magical powers, and a stat that lost her way. Crow’s bravery earns him unexpected recognition which changes his life as well as others.
Beth Berger Caldwell has always had a fun imagination. She always sees the good and fun in everyone and everything. Her Dad taught her to look at everyday as a new adventure. So when you mix imagination and adventures you get wonderful stories.
Here is an excerpt of the review:
“Certain stories have an intimate feel associated with gifts from close family members. These four friends who go on a journey in a large house environment—where pieces of furniture, toys, and even cats become characters for them to encounter—is just such a story. A child who perhaps recognizes the toys featured in the book might get a huge thrill out of seeing them partake in different adventures, photographed in cute positions throughout a familiar home. However, it must be said that other children unfamiliar with the author and her family could also get a thrill out of reading the story of the four friends for the same reason. It is basically like watching a session of make-believe unfold, which is charming as well. Overall, this is a fun little book that reads like a family heirloom.”
