Customer Reviews

Instructional and Fun, too!

This amazing book can be read in two ways: as a poetry alphabet book with gorgeous accompanying illustrations and/or by reading the information side bars that extend the experience with scientific and historical facts. As a teacher, I have used this book to introduce the joys of many types of camping as well as reinforcing the responsiblities we have to care for our beautiful Mother Earth. My students have then enthusiastically shared their own experiences through writing and art. This is also a perfect book for parents to share with their children, whether they are new to camping or experienced campers.
