Book Review: On the Loose in London!

 

Star Chapter Books are the perfect bridge for kids moving beyond beginning readers but not yet ready for longer chapter books. With short chapters, bold two-color illustrations, and fast-paced, funny stories, these confidence-building books make reading fun and rewarding.

In this tip-top tale of chaos and mayhem, dog siblings Betsy and Bones take London by storm—bungling plans, muddling maps, and turning their sightseeing into one hilarious disaster after another!

On their latest vacation, Betsy wants to stick to her carefully organized itinerary, but Bones is determined to follow his own whims. From Big Ben to Buckingham Palace to Tower Bridge, the siblings’ clashing styles turn every stop into comic confusion—but when it counts, they will need to work together to make the most of their London trip.

Each Star Chapter Book is 112 pages long, divided into six to eight short chapters with illustrated panels on every page to keep kids engaged from start to finish. This highly visual early chapter book format supports the transition from leveled readers to chapter books, making Star Chapter Books a perfect fit for independent reading, classroom libraries, or shared story time.

My Review

What a fun chapter book. This is one book that I can see my ten year old niece really enjoying.

It is easy to read and follow along. Easy enough to read that my niece could read on her own.

Betsy and Bones share a good sibling re. Yet, like any siblings, they do bicker and have different ideas. Betsy is me. I am very organized and plan everything out. Bones is like my husband, not really planning but just going with the flow.

In this case, I was on the side of Bones. Without him, Betsy would not have gotten to experience London as a more interactive adventure.
