This is a review for The Hunt for Mount Everest: Published by Craig Storti [October 5, 2021] who sent me a copy of the book in exchange for this review.
With Covid making it were it isn’t safe to travel a lot of us are living through books which is good for my family as we don’t have the finances to Travel. Homeschooling Charlie has led me and Charlie to wanting to learn about different Countries and Attractions and its why I couldn’t wait to share The Hunt for Mount Everest with Charlie.
Inside are Maps so Charlie and I were able to plan our own Trips and look up Countries we hadn’t ever heard of. Charlie was able to see a Bibliography and we turned it into a Lesson and wrote a story book of our own and added one to it so Charlie could see how important they are.
Charlie was even able to find lots of new Art projects to work on in his Art Class using this book. We were able to study explores and share the story with David. It was nice seeing Charlie being able to read the book and explain and understand what he was hearing. The most important fact I would like to share is Charlie has asked if the Author has written any other books and if so he would like to check them out.
For a HOMESCHOOLIN MOM this is a win win or God moment because Charlie struggles lot with reading and gets bored and will not finish a book not matter what I do. But this did not happen this time. Thank the LORD as it makes teaching easier.
This year marks the 100th Anniversary of discovering Mr. Everest, and author Craig Storti—who lived in Nepal and trekked the Himalayas—expertly guides readers to the pivotal moment when the last remaining major prize in the History of exploration was finally claimed
The Hunt for Mt. Everest tells the story of the 71-year quest to find the world’s highest mountain, climaxing in 1921 when two English climbers became the first people ever to set foot on the Mountain. It is a story of high drama, two disastrous Wars, great Political and Military bungling, and larger-than-life characters—all playing out against a backdrop of the most spectacular geography on Earth.
