Synopsis:
Three friends are setting off on a beach
holiday - but when things go wrong, some quick thinking helps save the day.
Three
friends in Spring - Dave, Sam and Joe - with faithful caravan Fran in tow, were
heading north for a holiday, off to the seashore, far away.
Three
friends have an unexpected adventure while on their way to the beach in Caravan
Fran. When Fran hits a bump in the road, the friends' dog, Ray, tumbles out and
falls in the creek. Sam jumps in to rescue Ray ... then Joe jumps in to rescue
Ray AND Sam. Eventually they all make it safely to the seaside - just in time
for dinner!
A
gorgeously illustrated celebration of holidays and friendship told in rhyming
text.
Review: 4 out of 5 stars
This picture book,
written by Cheryl Orsini, is a lovely read that will draw your little one into
the story with the beautiful illustrations and a sweet story-line with a lovely
friendship theme.
Our characters, led
by Fran are embarking on a seaside holiday but things don’t always go smoothly
and the friends have to work together to make it to the seashore in time for
their dinner, it was a delightful adventure and great to see the little friends
working together.
Attractive
illustrations are also by Cheryl Orsini, they are throughout the book and effortlessly
picture the scenery and characters in a way that is a story in itself, the details are wonderful. The text was easy
to read and was written in rhyme, always a favourite of ours.
Thank you kindly to
Hachette Books Australia for the opportunity for Miss 7 to read Caravan Fran.
