Imagination can provide the most wonderful adventures, especially when you are sharing those adventures with someone special. Big brother Manse and his sister Nono show kids the exciting experiences they have in their story Manse and Nono Take a Hike, a book written by their mother, Shana K. Antoine, and illustrated by Larisa Lungu.

This sweet story shows kids how imagination and cooperation can make for a day filled with excitement and discovery without ever leaving home. The children, Manse and Nono, plan their hike, take along snacks, drinks, and other necessary items such as a map and bug spray. They hike to the top of the mountain, making fascinating discoveries on the way. When they reach their destination, they put up a tent.

There was nothing that I disliked about this story. It is appropriate for children of all ages. There is a bit of minor suspense with a fun surprise waiting at the end. The author also provides questions that young readers can answer with the help of their parents.

The book appeared to have been professionally edited. There were no errors in the text. The bold black font stands out nicely against the colorful background. The illustrations are charming and the relationship between the young brother and sister is heartwarming. The story provides a useful tool for teaching kids that cooperation and preparedness make good experiences even better.

Although the story is quite brief, it is full of inspiring messages about cooperation, kindness, imagination, and discovery. Parents can also use the story as an opening to teach kids to appreciate nature.

Parents, grandparents, educators, and anyone with young children in their lives can feel confident about purchasing this story for their children. The story is simple enough that kids can learn to read it for themselves. I am pleased to give Manse and Nono Take a Hike four out of four stars.

Seems like a very fun, exciting book to read. Having young children of my own with vivid imaginations, and short attention spans, I think they will truly enjoy a book like this. Thanks for the review!
