Book Synopsis

Going camping sounds great to Bailey. But he's too young to join his Bunny Scout brother and sister--so Mama and Papa show him him to camp right at home.

Kids stuck at home for whatever reason will relate to Bailey, and parents will smile at the successful improvised solution created by his loving parents.

"You're too little" and "You can go in a few years" are no fun to hear. No wonder Bailey cries "It's not fair!" Good thing Bailey and his parents find a way to make a tough situation fun after all.
