PreS-Gr 1-Inspiring internet sensation Curry is back with another engaging and relatable story. Parker and her family are preparing to visit Papi and Nana, who live in Portugal. The family members pack their bags and head to the airport. After boarding and takeoff, they snack, enjoy the view of the clouds, and rest on the plane. They soon land at their destination, where Papi and Nana are waiting. Subsequent pages chronicle the joyful trip filled with outings to town, exploring the beach, boat rides, trying new treats, and even a visit to a castle in nearby Spain. As they reach the end of the trip, the family promises to visit again soon. Sentences range from three to 16 words, with two to four sentences per spread. The text features significant use of sight words along with vocabulary-building language. Charming illustrations are cartoonlike and depict Parker and her family thoroughly enjoying both their trip and each other's company. Back matter includes ideas and inspiration for readers to create adventure journals. VERDICT Another excellent addition to a winning series, recommended for early reader collections.-Olivia Gorecke
