In this beautifully illustrated book, one busy family finds lots to do from sun up to sunset. At the campsite, there’s wood to chop for the fire and fish to catch. And there’s lots of time to explore, climb rocks, splash in the lake, and discover animals in the shadows of the woods. As afternoon turns to evening, supper needs to be made, and just before bed, stories are told around the campfire. When We Go Camping is as instructional as it is delightful. Each painting highlights the tracks of one animal, which curve from the text into the illustration. Readers can turn to the glossary for more details about the wildlife depicted on each page. When We Go Camping is a perfect way to preserve summer memories all year long. PRAISE “A dreamy, poetic text and rich, detailed paintings celebrates the pure wilderness…The only thing missing from this story is the mosquitoes.” –School Library Journal “This beautifully illustrated book tells a delightful story of one family’s camping out…Wonderfully complex paintings reveal something new with each reading.” –PSC – Puget Sound Council “Author Margriet Ruurs shows her young readers there’s more to camping than just sleeping under the stars…” –Monterey County Family
