Kids often become voracious eaters when camping, so planning extra meals and snacks is not a bad idea. Many a camping child who would never think of eating a vegetable at home will eagerly ask for seconds if it was cooked in a fire. Once they get out in the wilds, most kids are thrilled with the new and dangerous world of knives, hatchets, fire, sticks, skunk visits, and forget about the music. Wrapped around concise and thorough information, kids will enjoy hundreds of nifty illustrations showing how to choose a tent, build a fire, fix a dinner on a fire, sing favorite camp songs, identify constellations, throw hand shadows, and lots more essential camp skills. The compact size of the book makes it easy to pack and enjoyable to read.
Camping is often the first adventure for kids learning independence.
