Captain's Log: Snowbound [hc]
Written by Erin Dionne & illustrated by Jeffrey Ebbeler [Ohio]
When his Ernest Shackleton report is ironically quashed because of a snowstorm, a school cancellation-celebrating elementary school student chronicles his adventures at home with hilarious log entries and read-aloud-friendly results. 32 pages
"Historical details, including a glossary and brief account of Shackleton’s treacherous voyage, enrich a story that takes its pretend play very seriously, and a multiracial family and an endearing protagonist of color are welcome inclusions in a predominantly white landscape of adventure tales. Entertaining, informative- utterly delightful." Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review (Ages 5-8)
