《旅行者》是我游历了全球43个国家以后，以自己的亲身体会写的的第二本书，通过这本书我们可以教会孩子“读万卷书不如行万里路”。从小教育孩子书本上的知识是死的，而在旅行中亲身体会，亲眼目睹学到的知识是属于自己的，谁都无法夺走。
本书适合两到十岁的孩子，尤其适用于幼儿园少儿教育，以及年轻爸爸妈妈给宝宝读故事；书本设计独到匠心，封面设计已申请专利，老师或爸爸妈妈在给宝宝面对面读故事的时候，从书本背面就可以清晰看到书本的全部文字及其插图，不需要弯腰或低头看书本里面的内容，这样大大提高了读故事的流畅性，以及更好的与宝宝进行眼神沟通；本书另外一个特色是，书本的插图部分由美国著名画家Lynn Ann Chaloupka亲手作画，书本分为两部分，前半部分是彩色插图及文字，后半部分特别设计了黑白漫画插图，可以供宝宝自由发挥上色，大大提高了宝宝的想象能力。
让我们跟着书本去看看埃菲尔铁塔，去看看古罗马斗牛场，去看看那些还有皇帝存在的非洲部落吧。
世界如此精彩美妙，让我们赶快出发吧!

A crucial factor in a child’s early development involves being read to on a regular basis. As most experts would agree, regularly reading to a child can form a close bond between the child and their parents, carrying them both to delightful worlds of fantasy and wonder. Although reading provides stimulating entertainment, it is also beneficial to a child’s educational development. Expanding a child’s vocabulary and improving their socialization skills, regularly reading to a child can help them immeasurably to thrive in society.
While the benefits of reading to a child have never been disputed, reading to a group of children presents some challenges. Specifically, many parents, caregivers, and teachers find that a child’s curiosity often distracts from the story being read. Eager to see the colorful illustrations that adorn each page, most small children can hardly wait until the reader has finished the sentence or page, before wanting to take a peak at the pictures that accompany the text. Continuously stopping between lines and pages, in order to flip the book around and show the curious eyes of the audience the colorful illustrations, many teachers and parents find that getting through a story can be a somewhat frustrating experience.
Recognizing the need for a children’s story book that can be easily read and shared with children, Mr. Tyren Scott Thomas has developed a unique series of children’s books he has aptly designated “readables”. Developed by an experienced and caring teacher, readables are a line of delightful and interesting books, each consisting of seven to fifteen pages of text and illustrations that depict the particular text.
Readables are a practical tool which would offer parents and teachers an easy means of sharing charming stories with children. Readables will be well enjoyed by any parent, teacher, and child.
