Great classic adventure book for elementary school kids. Our kids love these sorts of books. Books like this one really helped get our son interested in reading. A few people complain that Price's books aren't politically correct enough (the characters do things like capture animals for zoos), but the book is 60 years old. The world was different then.

My son likes these Willard Price adventure stories. I wanted to buy the whole series for him. The "Adventure Double" books seemed like a good deal, especially when you can get them used.
