This book, published by the National Wildlife Federation, is a wealth of information for kids who want to know all about camping. Each chapter begins with a question, which is answered with photos, diagrams and succinctly written information.  Bold face type is used for emphasis (important points) and unusual words.  Readers will enjoy the suggested activities – even the ideas for rainy days in camp (because, really…we have all had rainy days while camping, right?).  There is a helpful checklist near the end and a listing of National Parks and website reference.  An index is helpful for quick reference.  

Kids’ guide to camping : all you need to know about having fun in the outdoors is part of a four book Ranger Rick series.  This won’t be on your shelves for long.  It’s a fun, fairly easy read and will interest those readers that have an interest in the outdoors.
