Book Description

Age Level: 7 and up | Series: Danger Joe Show, The

Joe Denim's dad is a famous zoologist who travels around the world filming his animal show. But Dr. Joe has a bad habit of stepping straight into danger, so it's always up to Joe to save the day.

Joe Denim Jr's homework is to make a film. Joe's dad is the star of the hit TV show Danger Joe's Wild World, so Dr Joe invites his son to come with him as they film an episode on marmots. Joe isn't thrilled by marmots, but he agrees to go in hopes that he'll run into a more exciting animal. But, as usual, there is nothing usual about filming an episode with Danger Joe. Even though Dr Joe is an acclaimed and brilliant zoologist, he is too enthused by animals and often gets into precarious situations. When Dr Joe meets up with a gigantic grizzly, Joe Jr knows it's up to him to save his dad.

This review is from: Danger Joe Show, The #1 (Paperback)

I am a little less than half way through the book. I've been reading it with my six and eight-year old children. They both like it. The illustrations are good and appear about every other page or every three pages. I like the fact that it cracks silly jokes, which the kids appreciate, but it also teaches about being out in the woods. I got online here to look for others in the series, but this just came out. A second book is listed as coming out soon, but shows that it is appropriate reading for ages 9-12. The recommendation for ages 4-8, for this first book, is appropriate.
