About This Book
Reach for this book when your child struggles with rigid thinking or becomes easily frustrated when things don't go exactly as planned. While Phileas Fogg is a man of clockwork habits, his journey around the globe forces him to trade his schedules for spontaneity and his isolation for unexpected friendships. This Usborne Young Reading edition masterfully simplifies Jules Verne's classic into an accessible chapter book for early readers. Through Fogg's race against the clock, children explore the emotional themes of resilience and the importance of keeping one's word. It is perfectly aged for 7 to 9 year olds, offering a bridge between picture books and dense novels. Parents will appreciate how it introduces global geography and historical modes of transport while teaching that a cool head and a loyal team are the best tools for solving any problem.
