KeeKee's Big Adventures in Rome, Italy Hardcover – Picture Book, December 5, 2013

Great book for children to learn to identify specific buildings & learn a little about Roman culture while preparing for a visit

My daughter couldn't wait for the second KeeKee book to come out! She loves learning about KeeKee's journeys! On the first day of school she had to color a picture of her favorite character and it was KeeKee. She is looking forward to the next adventure!

Charming, clever, beautifully drawn and wonderfully told -- I wish I had had these books as a child! They will entertain and engage children, while also educating about geography and language. Plus -- they're just too cute! Five stars!

We were given this book at a restaurant in sarasota, and my 3yr old daughter loves it! We travel alot and this book series is such a fun way to tie in all the adventures from her trips. And it helps encourage imagination and wonder about the world to the cities that havent been explored. You read books and stories about fairy tales and school things, but exploring the world and that too thru a cute little kitty is so fun to introduce new words in different languages that motivates you to learn more. We were so happy to have come across the book that we ordered the other cities keekee explores as well!

Little girl loved it! Along with the rest of her pre school class!

My 4 year old son LOVES this book. I let him pick out his bed time story each night and at least 3 times a week it is KeeKee's Big Adventure. The story is cute but also informative and fun. The two page spread for the Sistine Chapel is amazingly illustrated. My son now says he wants to go see the Coliseum on our next vacation -which his mother is very onboard with too! Great book that can be read and re-read, and will teach along the way!

As KeeKee’s balloon descends on Rome she finds herself surrounded by…CATS! Oh my! She’s landed in Rome’s famous cat sanctuary – how purrfect! Instantly among friends, KeeKee makes herself at home and is quite soon in the capable hands of her Roman tour guide, Alfredo – a handsome hound, dressed as a Roman gladiator, what else!In no time they are off, visiting all the places that KeeKee has been dreaming of – the Colosseum, the Pantheon and the Sistine Chapel – with a dip in the Trevi Fountain thrown in for good measure!KeeKee learns a little bit of Italian to help her get around – and those words and phrases, along with a list of places to put on your travel itinerary are included at the back of the book.KeeKee books are smart, fun, educational and imaginative , and loaded with beautiful illustrations that really appeal to children – what more can you ask for in a children’s book today? Don’t forget to sign up for the KeeKee Club so that you can receive the latest information about KeeKee and her travels. Also included are fun coloring pages and other activities for you to print out – have a look![...]

As the second book in the series, Shannon again hits it out of the park. Not only are the illustrations extremely well done and engaging, but the content is so educational without my kids (6 and 4) even realizing they're getting a geography and language lesson all wrapped in one. It's such a fantastic combination and makes you want to travel! Our whole family can't wait for all of the follow-on books as there are certainly lots of cities that KeeKee still needs to explore! Grazie mille Shannon!
