The Review

Jakes and Dustin Take Off is a hardbound edition based on All Around.. All Around is billed as a magazine for children ages 1 to 100 and up. The book is more or less a bound edition of three issues of the magazine. Jakes and Dustin Check on the Souls provides ‘Facts About Color,’ ‘Blue Foods,’ ‘Rainbows Explained,’ ‘Meet the Jumps,’ and ‘Your Turn.’ In Jakes and Dustin in The Souls Touch Down is offered, ‘Jakes & Dustin Go Tree Climbing,’ ‘Facts About Trees,’ ‘Giant Trees,’ ‘ Building with Living Trees,’ Jakes’ Tree-Climbing Manifesto,’ ‘Tree Circus,’ ‘Tree Food Tree Drinks,’ ‘Curious instruments,’ ‘Make your own Tree Music,’ ‘The Secret Life of Trees,’ ‘Big Tree Climbing,’ ‘Trees in the City,’ and ‘Your Turn.’ ‘Jakes & Dustin See in the Dark,’ ‘Jakes & Dustin Travel to the Land of Darkness,’ ‘Things that glow,’ ‘Jakes’ guide to Night-Walks,’ ‘Moth Magic,’ ‘Make Your Own Lanterns,’ ‘Constellations,’ ‘Why Can’t You See The Stars?’ ‘Make Your Own Constellation,’ ‘What is the Moon?’ ‘Looking at the Moon,’ ‘Your Turn,’ and ‘Find out More’ are all found in All About Night. As might be deduced from the article titles listed per section each edition of the magazine is geared to a particular theme.

Writer Elkins has produced a very enjoyable work sure to please children and adults alike. The child and childlike drawings found on nearly every page of Jakes and Dustin Take Off are delightful. Readers will soon learn that articles may be produced as a several page, set in type work, while others appear to be hand drawn and hand written. It is a nice concept children will enjoy. The color facts found in All About Color I found to be particularly interesting. Included in the book are pages for drawing. Have you ever tried to draw your soul? This books offers the chance.

The section regarding trees, in particular the giant trees of the world, with my home state of California mentioned was especially interesting. The section entitled Tree Circus may prompt you to try some of the techniques in your own back yard.

This is a read-to book for the younger readers, read alone for older. Jakes and Dustin Take Off is a nice edition to the library of both child and parent. Children are offered opportunities to talk about, draw, expand upon and just enjoy some of the elements of the world in which we live.

Enjoyable read. This is not a story book, it is a work meant to be enjoyed by children and adults alike.

Hi Molly
Nice to meet you. Appreciate your reading Heavan's Organ. This review section is new to me. Do you just pick a book you feel people should know about and post it, or do you let someone like the author know you are doing it first?
