Children's Fiction: The Adventures of Isaiah James; Beach Boy, by Sabrina K. Carpenter

The Adventures of Isaiah James; Beach Boy, by Sabrina K. Carpenter is the first in a series of children's books about the author's son Isaiah. It is the rhythmical telling of a trip to the beach and the wonderful adventure Isaiah and his family have. Fun filled with beach balls, crabs, and plenty of sand castle building.

My two younger daughters read this, followed by a reading of my own. The eldest of the two felt that the author used the name "Isaiah James" too often, but had no other input. My youngest, on the other hand, liked the adventure wholly. I liked the story and how the author wanted to write something meaningful for her son. I did feel that occasionally the meter of the words did not flow as well as in some parts of the story, but the rhyming overall was fairly well done.

This book is a good bedtime story. The pictures were colorful and the story mostly rhythmic. Overall, a good read.

On a scale of 1-4, I give this book a 3. At least one daughter enjoyed it, as did I.

This book was published by Perfected Pen Publishing.
