Akimbo The Innovator

形式:ハードカバー|Amazon.co.jpで購入済み
In this Akimbo book, Smith brings us an Akimbo wizened by age and adventure. Here Akimbo wishes to accompany the crocodile man who is tagging baby crocodiles in order to study survival rate in that part of the jungle. Most baby crocodiles become meals for other larger animals, and there was an interest to observe the number that survived to adulthood.
On the journey, the Crocodile Man, John, actually does get attacked by a crocodile and his leg is hurt. Akimbo has to figure out a way to get his friend to hospital soon or he will bleed to death. This is where Akimbo applies his innovative talent. Perhaps Smith goes a bit further than can be expected, but Akimbo is an extraordinary boy.
As always, Akimbo works for that which is right in human society. It is right to help a friend if they are hurt. It may even be a cause to break rules especially if it will save a life and not endanger any other life. This is the crux of Smith's message. Akimbo follows his instincts about what is right and wrong and uses his imagination and creativity and finds the needed solutions to his dilemmas.
The book is recommended highly for children age 5 through 10. It can easily by read to younger children by parents as well. The book is a wonderful story of another adventure in the life of Akimbo in the African forest.

We Will Get More Akimbo Books

Usually when I read to my 6-, 4-, and 3-year-olds, I find myself saying "be quiet" over and over again. But my threesome has been captivated as I read Akimbo to them over the past several days. It has a good mixture of fantasy (with a young boy hot-wiring a truck) and reality (John's crocodile bites) without being too graphic. I did not feel the need to censor myself as I was reading. We like the pictures, too. My son (the 6-year old) wants us to read Akimbo and the Lions next.

"The Courage of Akimbo"

- (Amazon.com)
形式:ペーパーバック
Akimbo is a boy who lives in the African bush country with his Mother and Father. One day a man named John (a zoologist) comes to study crocodiles in the river with Akimbo at his side. John is trying to figure out how many baby crocodiles survive in one year's time, but during the expedition a crocodile bites his leg! Will Akimbo be able to save his friend?
I think the author did a good job of describing Akimbo and Africa, so I could imagine what it was like. I recommend this book for kids because of the courage Akimbo showed.
