When a storm blows in, Jimmy dreads spending the afternoon indoors, but his grandfather knows exactly how to pass the time. He ventures into the cupboard and pulls out a dusty, old books--the journals of Jimmy's seafaring great-great-great-grandfather, James Earl Silas Tuckingham.

As the storm rages outside, Grandfather and Jimmy journey into the past and relive James' adventures as he roamed the untamed oceans. On his travels, James discovers new species of plants, explores the Amazon, and defeats vicious pirates. At first, Jimmy is bored with the book, but as his ancestor James sails to exotic New Guinea and Guam, he and Grandfather share the thrill of James' voyages.

Filled with Janeen Mason's vivid illustrations, "The World's Greatest Explorer" encourages young readers to learn more about their family's history and world geography, especially the many places James visits on his journey.
