How to Find Gold, by Viviane Schwarz

Perfect for: 
Ages: 3-6
Occasion: birthdays, friendship

Have you got your secret-keeping faces on? Good.

Anna and Crocodile are on a mission. It's a dangerous and difficult mission. A dangerous and difficult mission to find Gold!

After testing their muscles and drawing a map ("the treasure's in France!"), Anna and Crocodile set out on a wild adventure to find treasure. There are wild storms, fierce sea monsters, ship wrecks and mysteries - will the best friends make it?

This is such a fun book - the language is witty and cute and as enjoyable for parents as it is for kids. I love how it celebrates imagination and it took me back to the days of my own childhood, when you could spend an entire day planning an adventure, lost in your own story and be shocked when all of a sudden night time had arrived and it was time to head home.

Anna and Crocodile's friendship and adventure are a sweet reminder that what really counts is the journey and that there are some things that are even more important than gold.

This one is perfect for preschoolers and early school readers - especially those that love a little adventure!
