Garcia and Colette Go Exploring

Description

'THE FULL-SPEED-AHEAD ENTHUSIASM ... IS INFECTIOUS' -- Kirkus, starred review Best friends Garcia and Colette are eager to go exploring -- only they can't agree on where to go. Garcia loves everything about space and Colette is obsessed with the sea. Garcia builds a rocket ship and Colette constructs a submarine, but even though they find amazing things on their journeys, they soon realise they each left something very important back home ... From new talent Hannah Barnaby and bestselling Australian illustrator Andrew Joyner comes a book about friendship, adventure and compromise. PRAISE FOR GARCIA AND COLETTE GO EXPLORING 'full of whimsical, witty illustrations and features several lesson ideas that cover concepts such as adjectives, vocabulary, compare and contrast, biomes, friendship, compromise, and counting' -- School Library Connection 'perfectly balances two stories and the characters within them, adding up to more than the sum' -- Kirkus, starred review 'Barnaby has penned an entertaining picture book celebrating creative play and togetherness' -- School Library Journal
