The Union Weekly - Book Review

Letters From Felix, by Annette Langen Review by Jessica Meisels So, looked this up on Amazon and just found out that it is one of many books about Felix’s travels around the world. I feel as though my childhood has been cheated, as I grew up with just the original. There are many books that we have connected to our childhood, but instead of listing here why the Baby-Sitters Club was the greatest series of all time (fact), I will talk about the children’s interactive picture book, Letters From Felix. The story focuses on Sophie, a six year old girl who looses her beloved toy rabbit Felix at the airport. However, Sophie and her family soon learn of Felix’s various adventures around the world through the letters and souvenirs he posts form each country, enabling the reader to get involved by opening the envelopes and assorted gifts. Letters To Felix is a great way to involve kids in learning about new countries and cultures around the globe. It was one of those books I would read over and over again, never allowing my sister to touch it because I knew she would invariably loose one of the treasured letters or stickers inside as younger siblings always do. Now a television series, I credit the book with starting my love of travel and yearning for the outside world , and would recommend it to anyone from ages 6 to 600 as one of the most charming children’s books of the 1990s.
