After writing a review on Rosco the Rascal Visits the Pumpkin Patch, I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. What I love about these books are they are age appropriate. Too many children's chapter books address issues outside the schema of innocent minds in young children. The Rosco series is safe to read with primary grade children. Rosco the Rascal In the Land of Snow, by Shana Gorian, will appeal to elementary school students who love dogs and adventures. This Winter story is a great read aloud or a fun story for small reading groups in grades 1-4. This new children's series follows a sister and brother as they experience adventures with their dog Rosco. Wrap up in a blanket and enjoy a cup of cocoa as you travel to the snow filled mountains for a weekend adventure.
