After seeing a trailer for this I thought that it was a picture book for very young children. It actually has lots of text on every page and in my opinion, is suitable for children up to 8years or 9years. With beautiful photographs and the story of Odd's adventure it really is a delightful book. Throughout the story, lots of worthwhile information is imparted, like how to take a compass bearing, use a whistle to call for help and there's a stunning photograph of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the United Kingdom.A lovely feature is the vocabulary list on the back pages for the new words that appeared in each chapter. Before reading the book I'd never heard of a Munro, a Corbett or a Bothy. Odd Sock looks cute in all the pictures.
