COURTESY OF CALDRIC BALDWELL<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As a parent and an early childhood educator, I am always on the lookout for well-written stories for children. Imagine my delight when I was told that one of my fellow students on campus had recently gotten his first children\u2019s book published. I was eager to give it a read after hearing the title \u201cThe Enchanted River Race.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interested in finding a good book for my children, I anticipated a fair amount of magic, but discovered the real enchantment of the river race was the imagination used by the main characters, Amy, Bridget and Silas. Using a fun-filled combination of teamwork and individual problem solving, the kids work together in an attempt to win an annual river race.<\/p>\n

My kids liked the plot, and it had enough twists and turns to keep them interested while it was read straight through in a single sitting. From a technical standpoint, I thought Caldric Blackwell did a great job with his first children\u2019s offering , giving it just the right mix of morality, teamwork and adventure. I think the language of this book is quite appropriate for children ages 8-12. I highly recommend this book, available at a reasonable price in both paperback and eBook format.<\/p>\n
