Tiny Hiker - by Natasha Zimmers (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

The tiny hiker finishes loading up her pack and excitedly gets on the trail, leading her family through the ancient trees toward their beach campsite.

At first it's fun to explore--she finds a hollow log, wriggles under a fallen tree, and spots a slimy slug! But then the trail starts getting steeper, and when her legs get tired, she trips on a root and takes a hard fall. Now her knee hurts, her elbows hurt...everything hurts! She just wants to give up.

But after a little break, a tasty snack and an exciting glimpse of the beach, the tiny hiker feels better and decides she will make it. With one final scamper over some giant beach logs, she finds the beach. Time to play! And at the end of the long day, after sitting by the campfire, the tiny hiker gets cozy in her sleeping bag and falls fast asleep.
