Hootworthy or not?
🦉 Owl Be Reading Review: An Intrepid History of Explorers by Izzi Howell 📚 Hoot Factor – ⭐⭐⭐ This book was quite a quick read, and I did enjoy learning about all the brave and daring explorers from history. There were some interesting facts about where they went and what they discovered, and I liked seeing how exploration has changed over time. But I wished there had been more detail in places, it felt like just as I was getting really curious, the chapter would end! It’s a good introduction if you want to get a taste of the topic, but I found myself wanting to learn more. 🎨 Owl-some Illustrations – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ There were some great illustrations and diagrams that helped me imagine the journeys and adventures. I especially liked the maps showing where the explorers travelled, it made it feel more real. 💡 Little Owl’s Takeaway – ⭐⭐⭐ Explorers come from all over the world and all walks of life, and even though their journeys were often dangerous, they helped people understand more about our planet. 💬 Hoot or Boot? – 3.5/5 Hoots A fun and fast read, but I would’ve liked it even more with a bit more depth and discovery!

Book details
Take a chronological look at a whole host of intrepid explorers. Blast around the world with the brave (and sometimes slightly foolish) men and women who crossed the icy poles, sailed uncharted waters, discovered continents, made friends (but more often enemies) of Native North and South American tribes and got mauled by lions in Africa and more. Discover if you would have had what it takes to be a ruthless conquistador, take part in a chilly Antarctic trek, navigate a viking ship or brave the long and dangerous Silk Road!
