Twin Adventures: Farmhouse Visit
Twin Adventures: Farmhouse Visit takes Kate and Tate, and readers, on a fun-filled adventure to grandma and grandpa’s house out on the farm. While grandma and grandpa show Kate and Tate their daily activities on the farm their imaginations run away from them and they end up making friends with two adorable bunnies.
Book two in Pat Henry’s Twin Adventure series has readers imaging all the fantastic things one can do on a farm. I found this to be a lovely diversion for young readers who are consumed with their electronics. This genial children’s book shows how much fun it can be on a farm and, staying true to the series theme, it shows just how much fun using your imagination can be.
I appreciate how consistent that bright graphic art is throughout the whole Twin Adventures series. Illustrator Bryant Albert is able to capture Kate and Tate’s emotions throughout the book and is able to make every scene vibrant.
Twin Adventures: Farmhouse Visit takes readers on a simple but fun adventure that will inspire your child to use their imagination. This is an upbeat and cheerful kids book that shows a family having fun on a farm.

Twin Adventures: Rainy Day
Rainy days often keep children inside where they are forced to play with their same old indoor games. When Kate and Tate’s plans get ruined by a rain day, they set their imagination loose and end up on a hunt for a dragon. Yet another spectacular adventure awaits those with an active imagination.
Rainy Day by Pat Henry and Paul Henry IV, is my favorite book of the Twin Adventure series because I feel like there is so much more happening in this story. Tate and Kate are stuck inside because of the rain. Their adventure begins when they find toy keys, which lead them to their cubby under the stairs, which leads them to a toy chest, and the toys inside ignited their imagination. I enjoyed reading through these fun series of events, which continues well into their imaginative adventure, as it gave it a storybook feel. Whereas in other books Kate and Tate just had a bit of fun, here Tate is put to the test when he must save his sister from danger, and then then tables are turned and Kate must save her brother. So much fun!
Kate and Tate take readers on a very imaginative adventure, and illustrator Bryant Albert is up to the task of bringing all their wild imaginings to life on the page. From a Fruit Palace to hunting a dragon through strawberry hills, all of the fantastic imagery conveys the same whimsy and wonder of the story.
Twin Adventures: Rainy Day is a fun adventure story for children that shows how imagination can be the key to a thrilling adventure, even when rain keeps you inside.

Twin Adventures: Backyard Safari
Twin Adventures: Backyard Safari is a fun children’s book following young twins Kate and Tate as they go on a Safari adventure powered by their imagination. This is a charming children’s book that shows kids the power of imagination.
When Kate and Tate are introduced the meaning of their names are explained to the reader. Which I thought was wonderful because this provides a great opportunity for young readers to think about what their names mean. The story then show Kate and Tate brushing their teeth before they head out because ‘no adventure starts until these tasks are complete’. This is another great example of the great lessons this book teaches kids. It seems like every page of this book has a great lesson to learn.
The art in the book is bright and captures the readers attention with a vivid cartoon style. I loved the image of Kate and Tate brushing their teeth as it was funny, but the wonderful images of the Safari were also magnificent. I would have liked to have seen a scene where it shows reality vs. imagination so kids could understand the difference, but this is still a story that is fun and entertaining.
Twin Adventures: Backyard Safari is an educational and enjoyable adventure that takes readers on a journey powered by creativity and imagination. This is a lively kids book that I highly recommend.
