Spin the Globe: The Incredible Adventures of Frederick von Wigglebottom

About the Book

Spin the Globe: The Incredible Adventures of Frederick von Wigglebottom is a fact-based and educational book series based on bedtime stories told to my daughter and son. Each night, they would ask Daddy to tell them a story. After exhausting every variation of animal, astronaut, knights, and princess stories I could come up with, one evening I took notice of the globe that sat atop their dresser. I asked them to help me with a story topic and had them spin the globe. Tonight the globe stops on Peru, the Land of the Incas. Frederick grabs his trusty journal and prepares to explore Cusco, ancient Incan ruins and magnificent Andes Mountains. Join Frederick and his new friends, Ernesto and Umiña, as he learns about the history, people, sites, and animals of the Andes and the Incan Empire.
