Publisher's Summary:
Exploring outer space and the ocean is exciting, but what if you left something very important at home?
Best friends Garcia and Colette are eager to go exploring, only they can't agree on where to go. Garcia loves everything about space (Stars! Planets!). And Colette is obsessed with the sea (Waves! Fish!).
Staying home is not an option, so they each get busy. Garcia builds a rocket ship that's snazzy and silver. Colette's shiny submarine is perfect for deep-sea dives. And they wish each other well on their travels.
It turns out the Milky Way really is amazing and the ocean floor is truly spectacular, but Garcia and Colette both realize they left something very important back home.
Exploring your favorite place can be terrific, but maybe the company is more important than the destination.
Members Reviews:
Never stop exploring.
Garcia & Colette are best friends who love to go exploring, but each thinks a different thing should be explored. Garcia wants to go to space. Colette wants to go under the sea. The friends part ways for their different adventures. The friends love their adventures, but both decide that without the other, exploring is just too lonely. Together they come up with the best compromise -- one that combines elements of what they both love and gives them an excellent place to explore. Fun, beautiful illustrations that capture the emotions and explorations of the friends perfectly.
With adorable illustrations by Andrew Joyner
Attention, little explorers! Whether your kiddos are fans of outer space or the deep dark sea, one thing is certain: they will adore Hannah Barnaby's newest picture book, Garcia & Colette Go Exploring. With adorable illustrations by Andrew Joyner, this book hits all the right notes, highlighting themes all of our kids love including adventure and, most importantly, friendship.
In Garcia & Colette Go Exploring, the two title characters are having quite the disagreement. Garcia the bunny think space is the coolest, but Colette the fox thinks the sea is where it's at. In order to determine whether space or sea will come out on top, the two decide they must go exploring... alone. Garcia builds a rocket and Collette builds a submarine, and the two embark on their own fantastic adventures to prove to the other that their chosen location is the best. But as they travel, both discover that winning may not be the best answer- especially if it comes at the expense of friendship.
Garcia & Colette Go Exploring is just the sweetest, with illustrations that can't help but bring a smile to your face. I love the parallel structure in which the book is written as it so perfectly emphasizes the differences in each character's journey but also conveys the loneliness each feels without the other. But more importantly, I adore what happens when Garcia and Colette are reunited. Rather than lie and boast about their adventures, they practice honesty and are not ashamed to admit the shortfalls of their respective journeys. It can be quite challenging for our little ones to refrain from "one upping" their friends, but Garcia & Colette Go Exploring handles what could be a sticky situation just perfectly. Even better? The compromise the characters come to at the end of the book.. and the recognition that a friend at your side makes every journey (even one that wasn't your first choice) that much better.
