My Review:

Does your child hate to read?  Why not make reading fun with Treasure Kai and the Lost Gold of Shark Island.  What makes this book so enjoyable is that your child will become part of the adventure as he/she tries to figure out the mystery through 8 plastic treasure chests embedded in the book.  Each chest contains toy clues that will help them solve the mystery.  How fun is that?  Why didn't they have these types of books available when I was a child.  All we had were choose your own adventure books.  Now, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed these book series, but it would have been so much fun to read this interactive book.  I am just happy that I have the book now to share with my daughter, Savannah.  It will definitely be a read again and again book, that will introduce her to the joys of reading. 








As your child reads each adventure, he/she is prompted to choose another treasure chest.  Once the chest is chosen and open, they have to match the toy inside with the adventure in the book.  The goal of the book is to find and pick the treasure chest with the gold coins inside.  What a great concept and adventure.  Your child will feel like they are an explorer!





So, if you are looking for the perfect summer reading book for your child, or need to buy a birthday gift for an upcoming birthday party for one of your child's friends, why not consider buying Treasure Kai today.
