Description
Jamie stands on the summit, surveying the scene,
looking down, far below, to a forest of green.
Since his marvelous mat can so easily glide,
he scrambles aboard for a thrill of a ride.
Now his mat is a slip-sliding, snow-going sled!
Down he zips, to the flat, sunny valley ahead.
In the first book in this series, Jamie’s Journey: The Savannah, young Jamie journeyed on his marvelous mat to the African savanna in Kenya and Tanzania, befriending an elephant calf.
In this beautifully illustrated sequel he employs his marvelous morphing mat to climb Mount Everest and befriend a herd of Himalayan yak. The message? Read to awaken your dreams. Imagine, and make it happen.
Jamie’s Journey books are also available through Amazon and BN or ask for it wherever books are sold.
“Jamie’s Journey is brimming with imagination and discovery, and the author conveys a sense of joy and amazement at the wonders of the natural world, concluding with a page of comprehension and vocabulary questions. The pace moves swiftly. It flows lyrically through the use of rhythm and rhyme, along with picturesque words that are age-appropriate yet challenging.” —Literature Lady, retired teacher
