Thoughts on: Around the World in 80 Days, by Jules Verne

This was a fun book to read to the kids. The copy we checked out from the library had a map in the back that showed the route the characters took on their journey. When they passed through Utah, my 6-year-old became very excited since her favorite cousin lives in Utah. It was cute to see her reaction.

When they were traveling in other parts of the world it was nice to talk about different cultures and help them understand that the world is so big and people do things so differently all over the world.

I enjoyed reading this book to the kids as much as they enjoyed listening, often reading longer than I intended because I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next.
