Usually the punishment would involve hard labor so it would have taken me some time to recover, as it appears Stan and Tracy needed some time to recover and gain the courage to once again embark on an adventure. Once I realized what the author had done with this literary leap forward in time, it no longer bothered me as much not to know what happened once Dad got home.

It should be addressed by anyone using this book as a teaching agent, but it is not distracting once you realize the text is broken into small parts designed to stand alone or used as a series of lessons. The Bobsey Twins, Hardy Boys, and Nancy Drew were all books I gravitated toward as a young child with each series requiring some suspension of belief. How did these characters get away with what they were doing? Where were the parents?

The answer can be complicated by our adult sensibilities, or one can realize there is a certain level of artistic license being taken by each of these authors in order to tell a story. In Curiosity with a Capital S, the author has related tales of two children exploring their new world, the mundane adult restrictions we all experienced were not as limiting as they have to be today and were irrelevant to the tale.

As a young child, my parents would often shoo my sibling and I out the door after breakfast not to be heard or seen again until dinner. Then we would be ushered out the door once again until supper.

Did that make them inattentive parents? On the contrary, it was a sign of the times as all our friends in the neighborhood were out there with us making up our own adventures! I highly recommend this book for the target audience - and their parents. Each chapter is a lesson on its own that could bring us back to a time when parents actually talked with their children face-to-face.

Discussing the dangers, consequences, and lessons Stan and Tracy learned can open doors with historical context and lessons for today's lifestyle. I am so glad I received this from Library Thing to review. I thought it was a great story about a brother and sister who were inseparable during WW II.

Stan, being the one with more curiosity always seemed to get in trouble but it always worked out for him in the end. I think this story would be great for children around years old. This story was well written, from the view point of a child, and how they perceived the changes from WW II her family experienced. I really liked reading how the family was always there for each other and listened to one another. I would be interested in reading a story about Tracy next, since she's carrying on the tradition of being curious. Give this book a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Actually, I had given the book to my seven- year- old grandson as a Christmas gift. I noticed when I returned to his home this week that he had not read any of the book. He's an avid reader, but chooses books about adventure characters or comical school house series. I started reading the book to him each night and was surprised when he begged me to read more.

He's actually enjoying historical fiction? After reading the first few chapters, I had to laugh when he said, "Nana, what is a swell? Experiencing his enjoyment of the book, I will give it a top rating. I am glad he had it read to him rather than attempting it on his own. He is a little young to grasp such concepts as rationing, a safe time when a child could explore his environment on his own, and a time when a parent's word was sacred.
