Today was the day! A stupendously special day

For two best of best friends who loved to jump, run, and play.

They knew what awaited beyond those towering doors.

They could hear the booming thuds of feet flopping on floors.

Cheers rang out from inside. The glass windows fogged with dust.

Akash and Mila could not wait. “Let’s go,” they both fussed.

They pulled on their parents’ arms as they entered to see gymnasts sprint, spring, and leap nearly as high as a tree.

My Thoughts

 

This is another book I have reviewed for this author. The previous one was Rohan and Nyra and the Big Sisters Bet

These books are very colorful and paragraphs short so a child between the ages of 5-8 that they can understand it. They also have a lesson to learn. In Akash and Mila and the Big Jump, which is the fifth in the Owning the Dash Kids’ Book series.

Each book is a fun read for the ever-learning child. Valuable lessons that all children should know and take to heart. 

Akash and Mila are friends are on this particular day they arrive at the gym. As most child they love to jump and play this was the perfect opportunity for them to excel at what they are already doing. The gym is crowded with all sorts of people, adults and children, some practicing and others just watching. 

Akash and Mila were not sure if they were just to watch or participate. Their friend assured them that they will be participating.

Their task, jump off the springboard and land with a pose of some kind. Akash wanted to do this so he gets on the springboard, jumps then instead of having the pose he wanted he landed belly first. Devasted he was ready to leave but their friend asked them to s tary and he told them about his own flops. 

He told the two that they didn't have to do it again but he kind of persuaded them that no matter the outcome he would be there to support them.

So, both Akash and Mila tried it again and were very successful.

Easy to read and fun at the same time, reading this or have the child read to you will be fun for both.

I received a copy of the book for review and was not monetarily compensated for said review.
