Book Review

Sydney & Taylor Explore the Whole Wide World

Author: Jacqueline Davies · Illustrator: Deborah Hocking · Publisher: HMH Books for Young Readers Reviewer: Kerinda O’Neal, Children’s Library Associate, Southwest Oklahoma City Public Library

It’s time for adventure as Sydney and Taylor take off to explore the Whole Wide World!

Even though they are both a bit nervous about the trip, they embark nevertheless. As they search for food, fend off large predators, and eventually find their way back home, Sydney and Taylor learn what it means to be true friends and adventurers.

Through the ups and downs of their journey, these two adorable creatures teach us that even though it may be scary to try new things—which might not always turn out exactly how we expect—it is absolutely worth it.

And the adventures of Sydney and Taylor don’t end here. They have two adventures coming up: Sydney and Taylor Take a Flying Leap, set to release on Aug. 3, 2021, and Sydney and Taylor and the Great Friend Expedition, set to release on Feb. 22, 2022.
