Synopsis
Popcorn and Jellybean had never ventured down the path beyond the big tree. But since they never really did anything exciting, and even though it made them a little nervous at first, they decided it would be a fun adventure for a couple of days. What could possibly go wrong? Plenty, as it turned out, if the explorers were not prepared! Join them as they take on new challenges each day, learn how to survive by following the behaviors of the animals they encounter, and go where Mother Nature leads them. And who knows, maybe we could learn as well!

Review
What an exciting book aimed at younger readers that is educational too!
Popcorn and Jellybean are on quite the adventure into the woods. I am not sure how old they are supposed to be but am surprised that the parents were ok with them being gone for several days. But as they delve deeper into the woods they come across various types of wildlife and remember details about the different animals and their behaviors from listening to their parents. They are also able to determine what sorts of plants are ok to eat after lessons from the parents. It is amazing what will stick in your mind even if you aren’t trying to learn!
There are times where the words seem older than the target audience, but I think it is a good book to teach children about wildlife and plants but in a fun way.
This book would be great for a reader that is just starting chapter books as the chapters are shorter and easier to read than a traditional chapter book.
We give this book 4 paws up!

The characters look cute and something kids would enjoy very much.
I am so glad I made him smile! I hope Popcorn & Jellybean have more adventures
Thanks for your very nice review of our book! You put a smile on my son’s face!
I just read this, too, and I also thought it was odd that they just went off on their own overnight in the woods! But it’s a cute book!
Congrats on the tour and thank you for your review and giveaway.
