Children should have access
to entertaining as well as educational fiction and non-fiction. In ROV-R, The Undersea Explorer “The Bimini
Road,” Kevin Scott Collier has done just that. The undersea exploration story of the Bimini
Road is told through the eyes of R.O.V.-R., Remote Operated Vehicle, Model R - or
"Robert," as he thinks is his name. It is
presented as an adventure and a mystery. Kids will get caught up in the adventure and
learn more about this great mechanical device that aids in undersea
exploration.
ROV-R narrates the Bimini
Road exploration with excitement and enough facts to give kids something to
chew on in this mystery/adventure. What will ROV-R find? Is the Bimini Road manmade
or something from nature? We’re anxious
find out. We see what ROV-R sees through his camera “eye” and the information
is then digitally transmitted to his on-board partner, Dave. Perhaps Dave and the crew can analyze the
images and data ROV-R provides to figure out what made the Bimini Road, man or
nature.
R.O.V. – R. is a fun
adventure story for kids to enjoy and learn about undersea exploration. Kevin Collier's illustrations are realistic enough to
educate and fanciful enough to entertain. This story will do well in school classrooms
and libraries. I look forward to more
fun science adventures about ROV-R from Kevin Collier.

Hi Penelope:
ReplyDeleteThe cover reminds me of Magic School Bus. I would think he would have a big audience with people who enjoy those books--I used those all the time when I taught elementary school! :) Thanks for sharing.
HI Margo, thanks for the nice comments. There are three more ROV-R" adventures" and I will be reviewing them later this week and next! If you go to their website you'll see videos, too.
