Isabella: Girl on the Go is a delight. First, I love the fact that Isabella is spending the day playing with her father. Daddies seem to rarely be featured in children’s books especially those about the adventures of little girls. I was also thrilled with the fact that this book focuses on the magic of imagination. Isabella’s adventures take her around the world exploring opportunities from being an archeologist to an astronomer while never leaving her own backyard. In the touching conclusion, Isabella decides that her own home is the most wonderful place on Earth as she prepares to dream about all of the exciting places she will visit the next day via her imaginative play.
