It has to be one of the cutest kids books I have read in ages! It just arrived in the mail today and after seeing the cover, I couldn&#8217;t wait for the boys to be here. I just curled up on the couch and read it. I swear it was just like listening in on a conversation with my two boys when they were just a little bit younger. There were times, when I was reading this, that I burst out laughing because I could have sworn I&#8217;d heard this conversation coming from their bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, but the illustrations fit the story so well that it&#8217;s almost like watching a movie. You just keep flipping the pages and before you know it, the story is done and you&#8217;re hoping they make a sequel!<\/p>\n<p>In this book, Roger (the turtle) and Padraig (the dragon) decide to go on Safari. If they can stay out all night long, in the morning, they&#8217;ll get to see all of the exciting animals. Through the night, they hear a giraffe, a rhino and save a baby leopard&#8230;or do they? I&#8217;m going to let you read the story and find out what happens on their adventure.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously though, if you have kids this is one of those books you&#8217;re going to want on your bookshelves. Plus, with a turtle named Roger (my youngest son&#8217;s name) and a dragon named Padraig, you can&#8217;t go wrong.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/?action=view&amp;current=Name2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photobucket\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/i227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/Name2.jpg\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>If you like what you&#8217;ve read here, please share it with others using these buttons:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh my gosh, I have to tell you all about this book.
