Goober The Golf Ball's Great Adventure
Author: Michelle Lynn DiCicco (Writer) & John Terlato
(Illustrator)
Publisher:Trafford Publishing
Category: Fiction / Children's
ISBN: 1-4120-2071-9
The following review has been contributed by: S.V. SWAMY & CLICK TO VIEW S.V. Swamy's Reviews
"Goober the Golf Ball's Great Adventure" is a
children's book, written by Michelle DiCicco and
illustrated by John Terlato. It is a short and sweet
story, humorous and with a happy ending. A boy Tommy
loses his favorite golf ball, Goober. After a short
separation, they get reunited.
The story is simple and easy to read for children. The
illustrations are colorful and eye-catching.
It would have been better if the age group for whom
the book is meant for was mentioned somewhere, on the
cover or in a short intro. Also, even in USA and
Canada (for whom the book is meant for) there could be
parents who don't play golf and so will be at a loss
to explain what is a driver and what is meant by
slicing. Such golf terminology could have been
explained so that the curiosity of children and
parents could be taken care of.
The story and the illustrations lend for a multi-media
approach in the form of a CD (with nice music and the
story read out).
A good effort from a first time author.
