My Review

I am always on the hunt for a new children’s book that my 7-year-old son will enjoy. The Adventures of Lefty and Righty The Windy City did not disappoint. We enjoyed the rhyming text, which made the book fun and created a nice flow. While there are some words that I would need to assist my son with reading he was able to recognize many and could help with reading. This is great to help build the confidence of young readers.

The story is entertaining and fun for young readers (and old) as it follows the journey of a pair of socks. We’ve all wondered what happens to those missing socks from the laundry, right? What if they went on an amazing adventure?

A great feature of this book is the introduction to several notable places in Chicago. In the text these are printed in bold, red text and at first I just thought it was for fun. As we completed the book and turned the pages to the back, I realized that the bold, red text words were further described. This was great because it described the reflection in the Bean and I had no idea what that meant until I read the description at the end.

We really enjoyed this book and it will be read over and over at bedtime. The pictures are fun for young children and the rhyming text makes it fun too. Not to mention a little geography lesson thrown in too! Perfect for us as homeschoolers!
