Attention boring people: Do not open this book. The fun contained in these pages is way too much for you to handle. We cannot be held responsible for the overwhelming joy you will experience or the aftermath it may cause.
Oh, you're not boring? Then go ahead, open it! Write your name at the top. Backwards. Upside down. In giant bubble letters. This journal is officially yours. Scribble on the pages. Rip it up. Smush it down. Spit your gum into it. No one is going to tell you that you can't. In fact—we encourage it!
The National Geographic Kids Action Journal is perfect for the 5 million middle grade readers that love National Geographic Kids magazine. Each page in this book presents readers with inventive, fun, and funky instructions for simple and entertaining tasks that will help them explore themselves and the world around them. With features like "learn to talk like a pirate," "voodoo your friends," "crime scene investigation," "best friend quizzes," "dream analysis," and so much more, kids will never want to put this down.
My Take on the BookThis book by Becky Baines is an interactive book for the reader full of pages where they can share their thoughts, dreams, favorite things, what ifs, etc. She encourages the reader to use tactile , smell and vision to share in this book. She asks questions such as "WOULD YOU RATHER EAT A PLATEFUL OF LIVE SLUGS OR A PLATEFUL OF MONKEY BRAINS" and then allows the reader to express themselves.
Becky gives her readers/writers choices such as the use of vocabulary she supplies to talk like a pirate or use codes to write to your friends. She encourages the use of the child's imagination in a positive exploratory method.
Creative expression can be experienced by making up a new name for yourself and then describing your life as the new you. Do you have super powers and if you do how would you use them?
The book gives its readers many opportunities to express their feelings, hopes , dreams and challenges them to go beyond the person they already are.
I think your older elementary to middle school child would enjoy the opportunities within this book to explore themselves. Maybe you will be fortunate ,as a parent, if they share their thoughts as they write and create with the help of this book.
