I'm going to start off by telling you that we are a homeschooling family, and my oldest two have this crazy dream that one day we're going to sell our house and live in an RV! Seriously, they are constantly brainstorming ways to make this happen! So when we were asked to review Wright On Time, Book 1, I knew they would love this!
Lisa M. Cottrell-Bentley had such a great idea when she created this series, following a homeschooling familiy who lives in an RV as they travel the great states! Each book is set in a different state and details the adventures that the family embarks on. Book 1 is set in Arizona, a state that our family didn't know much about.
I like that in the beginning you are given an overview in pictures of the state including the state bird, mammal, flower, capital, and other important landmarks. Just from these pages we learned quite a bit. The Wright family is in Arizona and they are going to explore a desert cave.
Scary encounters with bats and other mysterious discoveries will keep your kids hanging on every word! My 8 year-old loved the fun that Aidan found around every cave corner, and my 5 year-old most liked hearing about the treasures that Nadia discovered. Everyone will be anxious to find out what happens after the family gets locked in the cave at night!
I think that this would be a great addition to any family's book shelf, but homeschooling families especially. You could use this book along with a unit study on rocks and caves, or just as a supplement to a state study. It's wonderful that the story is exciting and my kids were able to sit and listen without realizing that they were learning! I can't wait to grab the next book following the Wright family to Utah for a dinosaur dig!
You can get your own copy of Wright On Time, book 1 from the Wright On Time website or Amazon for $12.99. Also, check out the video below for more info!
