What a fun book!  The recommended age group for The Travel Adventures of Lilly P. Badilly: Costa Rica by Debbie Glade is 4 – 8, but during the time this book has sat on my shelf, my two year has requested to see it numerous times – he loves it.  The illustrations (also by Debbie Glade) are bright, very colorful, and fun. 

Lilly P. Badilly is a little millipede that lives in a hole inside the Miami International Airport with her grandparents.  The book opens with Lilly gleeful about her upcoming trip to the rain forests of Costa Rica. Throughout the journey to, and visit in, Costa Rica, Lilly comes face to face with a lot of her fears and finds way to overcome them.  She meets creatures of the rain forest and has great adventures.  There is definitely learning material here and a great way to introduce your child to places that aren’t close to home.

The Travel Adventures of Lilly P. Badilly: Costa Rica comes with a Book On CD. A little warning though: “Lilly’s” voice on the CD is a tad bit annoying. The rhymes in the book are set to music on the CD.
