Sparky has a magic bone that takes him on adventures around the world any time he bites it just right. This time he's off to Switzerland, where he joins up with a lonely St. Bernard named Lena. The two of them explore the streets of Zermatt, the Matterhorn, the Iglu-Dorf hotel, and the Glacier Palace.
This is a fun take on geography, teaching students about Switzerland while entertaining them with Sparky's adventures. While the book does hint at others in the series, it stands on its own just fine -- important for those who choose to read out of order. Earlier books in the series explore London, Hawaii, and Rome.
EL -- ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Caryn
