Kids love taking turns opening a chest to reveal the toy inside and drive the story forward. (And being chosen to open a chest is a great incentive to sit still and listen!).

I cater my discussions to 3 different grade levels: K-2, 3-4, 5-6. Click here to check out some of the presentation options. Contact me through the contact us form to discuss setting up an author visit that meets your needs. Kid Tested. Parent and Teacher Approved! Kids "The first time I read this book, I found the gold on the second chest. The next time it took 7 chests! I like it because I never know when I'm going to find the gold. It's like a game." (Tom - 9) "The toys in this book-game are so cool. The best one is the rock necklace. I got two sets of toys so I can play with one set and keep the other toys in the treasure chests on the book." (Christopher - 8) "Treasure Kai does such cool stuff. I wish I could be him." (Alex - 6) "Sometimes Dad hides real coins in the treasure chest so I get extra pocket money when I find the gold treasure!" (Hannah - 7) Parents "Rather than give my son a special treat after dinner, I sometimes hide a candy snake or chocolate coin in one of the chests. I love hearing his squeals of delight when he finds it! (Karen - Mother) "This is the only book my son reads over and over again. He likes it because it's always different." (John - Dad) "I can't believe what good value this book is! I spent $30 on a picture book alone the other day and $50 on a game. This book has stories plus the toys, treasure map and a website. What a great deal! I'm buying books as gifts for my nieces and nephews as well!" (Therese - Mother) "Finally my child has something he wants to read!" (Neal - Dad) Teachers "Karen visited my Year 4 classroom three times in November and December 2007 to share the prototype of the book and explain the illustration and editing process to the kids. The kids absolutely loved Karen's visits. They had numerous questions for her and she answered them happily."
Mrs. Gaye McNaughtan "Karen read Treasure Kai and the Lost Gold of Shark Island to my Year 1 class and the kids were so excited about the story and the toys. The kids took turns opening the treasure chests and they loved that they had a say in how the story progressed. And of course they wanted to read it again! Miss Sheridan Cooper Tutors "What a fun book. Such a book as this is a great motivational tool to encourage the reluctant reader to find the treasure. The treasure may well be the discovery that he is able to read it." Robynann Williams - Speech Pathologist "...a novel approach to engaging reluctant readers as it is often difficult to find a book that both engages an older child and keeps the text at an easier reading level. An interactive book that encourages reading is a real treasure in itself." Barbara Rabbitts - Remedial Literacy Tutor.

Reading a book from front to back is boring! With this book, the child opens any chest he wants to. The toy inside the chest is the clue to which story he reads next. A child might find the gold inside the first chest he opens or he may get to open all 8! There are thousands of ways to read this book-game. - A book that's inviting to read. For some kids, pages of text can be confronting. Not the pages of Treasure Kai! They're filled with bold illustrations, small blocks of easy-to-read text and are presented as a series of action-filled short clue stories to keep kids on the edge of their seats.
- Kids are ABLE to read this book. If kids find even 5% of a text difficult to read, they'll often stop reading. That's why we worked with literacy professionals to make sure the language in this book is NOT a barrier to reading. (Book appeals to ages 5-9+. Reading level late Year 1/early Year 2). - There's a FREE fun-filled website with activities, competitions and more, so kids get to keep learning and having fun! And as a bonus, kids can use the toys and treasure map to crack the code word that opens a secret section online. - Incredible value for money - I know it seems crazy but this book delivers 8 great stories, 8 treasure chests, 8 terrific toys, a treasure map and FREE online fun for the price one would usually pay for a hardback book!
