A #ReadAtlantic book!

Using carefully chosen descriptive language, readers can easily visualize the scene and events taking place. Paired with a few lovely illustrations by Laurel Keating, this is a great introductory chapter book for young readers. It offers an opportunity for children to envision scenes on their own, but also helps to guide them with the imagery included. Each chapter keeps you wanting to read more and leaves you wondering what other adventures Errol may be on to next.

“In this latest entry in Sheilah Lukins’ early chapter book series about Errol’s ongoing exploits, our feisty and kindhearted hero is as intrepid as ever. The chapters are short and action-packed, perfect for holding the attention of young readers.”
