This is a fun way for older elementary kids to learn some geography or test what they already know. In this book Phineas Frog and his daughter travel the globe. You have to figure out where they are from clues within the poetry on each page. It's a fun book for parent and child to do together. It's NOT for young children, though! It was WAY over my four year old's head.

This is SUCH a neat book! Phineas and his daughter embark on a world tour in his hot air balloon. At each stop, Phineas does some sightseeing and his daughter does some shopping, purchasing souvenirs found in each country. The pictures are comical, the rhyming story is fun, and the puzzle is challenging, though not difficult. My 4 year old and I have gone through the book and it held her attention the whole time. I had thought we might need to read through it in several sittings. We haven't solved the puzzles at the end of the book yet. My 9 year old will be able to solve the puzzles on her own. They involve going back through the book, looking at the places they stopped and what they collected (and lost), then taking letters from these words to spell the answers to the puzzles. FUN!
