BOOK DESCRIPTION

“Takashi’s Voyage was an excellent addition to our district’s reading and language curriculum. It lends itself perfectly not only to NJ history and reading/language, but math, geography, and science as well.”

Takashi’s Voyage

This educational work book, to be used in conjunction with Takashi’s Voyage, has been designed to address many areas of learning: social studies, language arts, creative thinking, geography, science, music, mathematics, drama, and more.

All too often, books are read and put aside, opportunities for learning missed. This “float plan” can help parents, teachers and children delve into greater knowledge of subjects covered in the book. Most of the activities are great for rainy day fun!

REVIEWS

“We followed Tashi around the world and up the coast on maps and globes. The refererences to actual towns, names, lifesaving techniques, etc. brought the story very close to home for us, as a number of the children have families who make their living from the sea.”
