5.0 out of 5 stars A gem for a third grade teacher!, July 1, 2000

By	Leanna Prokop (La Verne, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This book is perfect for the third grade curriculum that I teach. We are supposed to cover multicultural lessons as stated by the standards. This book lends itself beautifully for this. After purchasing a "Felix" type rabbit for our mascot, I used the book to travel to different countries, conveniently the ones that Felix also visited. By using the activity book that can also be purchased, each child had a world map and we placed stickers as we visited each land that Felix had visited, and also completed activities,and minor research about each country. Rome, one of the places visited was a great introduction to the Olympics that will be happening in Australia. The visit to the land of knights and ladies was perfect for our introduction into fairy tales.(Folk Literature-3rd grade standard)Finally, a visit to an Indian settlement. The Plains Indians is also part of our social studies curriculum. Not only does this book give us a brief insight into many cultures, the students love having a class mascot and can't wait to see what area we will get a peek into next.

5.0 out of 5 stars My little son loved it so much!, June 28, 2000

By	Sibylle Freytag (Newcastle, South Africa) - See all my reviews

Sweet little stuffed Felix escaped during a museums visit from Sophie, his fellow from baby times. He started a journey into the past, sending Sophie letters from every station. You can pull out the letters from their envelopes and read about Felix adventures in History. He wondered about the knights in mediveal castles, joined the vikings and send a construction plan from their drageon ships home to Sophie. He met the Red Indians and wrote about the old culture technics developed in the far east. The next letter arrives from greece, explaining the origin of alympiad and the myths. Before travelling home he joined our anchestors in stony times to report their simple life style. My little son especially loved reading about the knights and the vikings. He shared Sophies fear for Felix and her happiness when he retured home, finally. This book is wunderfully written and beaturfully painted. It inspired us to talk and learn about history!
