“A discovery in a remote part of the Amazon,” Journey to the Last River is a wonder-fill
“A discovery in a remote part of the Amazon,” Journey to the Last River is a wonder-filled book that reveals a journal “belonging to an unknown artist and adventurer.”
An epic picture book, Last River is an appreciation-builder for nature, for wild places, for conservation, and for hidden, essential, fleeting, and sometimes dangerous details on our exquisite planet. Lovely color pencil illustrations often provide additional information—maps, labeled inventories, fascinating notes about found items, annotated animal illustrations… No doubt that its young readers will want to become resourceful explorers, protectors, problem solvers, and custodians of the natural world.
I highly recommend this unconventional 128-page picture book from the Unknown Adventurer / Teddy Keen. Kirkus Reviews does, too, calling it “sometimes thrilling, often terrifying, thoroughly immersive.” ⚡️
