Around the World with Friends is a sweet story about friendship and lessons that can only be learned from experience. A group of animals set off on an adventure, each contributing in their own way, and end the trip figuring out ways to improve for the next escapade. Filled with detailed illustrations and numerous animals, this book is sure to keep the attention of children.

I received an ARC from Gecko Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Charming story of a raccoon who wants an adventure for himself after reading an adventurous book. He sets off to journey around the world via the ocean. Along the way, he shares with friends and they each offer reasons they should join in. The friends travel on the river and have a delightful day. Once it begins to rain, they decide their ocean adventure was long enough for a first voyage. All agree they want to do it again with more provisions.
The artwork is a joy to study and enhances the text for younger readers. This is wonderful read aloud for families and classes (especially before heading out for adventures of their own.)

My kids thought all the animals were so silly. A lovely little story showing how an adventure may not go as planned but is always fun with friends.
The books felt like Little Bear story and my kids have already read it twice. Highly recommend!

A group of animal friends set off on an adventure to travel the world by boat. Each friend brings their unique skills on the trip, and together they have a wonderful time.

This story was fun, and the illustrations were engaging. We really enjoyed how each character was so unique and each contributed significantly to the adventure in their own special way.
