I recently received The Pocket Scavenger for review. It is written Keri Smith who has also written Wreck This Journal, How to Be an Explorer or the World, This Is Not a Book, Mess, and Finish This Book. Two apps, Wreck This App and This is Not an App are also available.
The Pocket Scavenger leaves things to chance. You are to go out a scavenger hunt (various objects are listed in book to find) and then write down facts about what you found and/or journal a story. There are also tasks written at the bottom of every page. They give you ways to alter the book, like "smear something on it" or "add a color you dislike" plus many more.
Along with basic discovery, this book allows you to try new things. Since I am into scrapbooking, it reminds me a bit of K and Company’s Smash Books that have emerged over the last few years or even altered books if any of you are familiar with them.
The Pocket Scavenger is a scavenger hunt with a very interesting twist. The suggestions to alter allow you to customize this title into your own work. It takes on exploration and creativity. I think literate children and adults alike would have fun with this book. This book would provide great inspiration to tackle winter doldrums or help take you on a new adventure out and about on a beautiful day. Check out YouTube for a video on The Pocket Scavenger.
Disclosure: I received a copy of this book to review on my blog.
I was looking for a fun book that would prompt writing and be a fun fieldtrip book. This book has been everything I hoped that it was. Planning on buying the authors other books as well.
This is one of my favorite books by Keri Smith. This is pretty fun and encoruages you to be creative. It’s less repetitive than prior books, and focuses a lot of "found materials". Also if you are someone like me–who loves treasure hunts even though they are an adult, this book is for you!
