Customer Reviews

A fun family camp at the beach

This children's picture book won the 1991 Children's picture book of the year (Australia). A child tells of her family camping trip to Sandy Beach, the adventures they have and the people they meet. It is beautifully written, and told as if the child is recalling her adventure, it's almost like reading a postcard. A nice little message about not judging people by their appearance, is also in this book.

A Fabulous Bedtime Story

We have been reading this book at bedtime to our four year old son for over a year now. He quotes from it when we go camping (you have to read the book to get that reference), and he is vastly amused when we write his name in snow or sand, "not with a stick, with Quentin!" Just a delightful book for anyone who has ever gone on a family vacation.

Hilarious story of family vacation

This book is sooooo funny, if you've ever been on a car vacation with family. Good story about being a family and about pre-conceived notions - without being trite and preachy. We just adore this book. Illustrations -- the best.
