Review Quotes

A sweet intro for would-be campers.
--Kirkus Reviews

Readers are likely to learn about animals that are new to them while enjoying the verse descriptions of the creatures' habits and surroundings; they can also use this work for report inspiration and to learn about poetry conventions. But mostly this will be enjoyable for independent leisure reading and makes a solid additional choice for school and public library collections.
--Booklist

Its brightly colored pages are full of little bits of information that add an extra element of interactivity during the reading process. . . An ­excellent resource on basic outdoor knowledge and exploration. Perfect next steps for nature-loving kiddos.
