The Dragon and The Turtle Go on Safari by Evangeline Denmark and Vincent Nguyen

It is time for a FIRST Wild Card Tour book review! If you wish to join the FIRST blog alliance, just click the button. We are a group of reviewers who tour Christian books. A Wild Card post includes a brief bio of the author and a full chapter from each book toured. The reason it is called a FIRST Wild Card Tour is that you never know if the book will be fiction, non~fiction, for young, or for old...or for somewhere in between! Enjoy your free peek into the book!

You never know when I might play a wild card on you!

Thanks for mentioning the book, Kim. We have two contests at www.dragonand turtle.com. One for camping gear and one for matching parent/child aprons. Lots of other pages with fun activities as well.
