Bookroo's summary

Bailey dreams of camping with his Bunny Scout siblings, but he's deemed too young. Frustrated by the wait, Bailey's parents transform their home into a campsite, turning disappointment into adventure. Can Bailey's imagination and his parents' creativity make staying home just as exciting as the wilderness? Discover how a little ingenuity can turn a 'no' into a 'yes' and bring smiles all around.

From the publisher

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.”A cozy, comfortable book that will leave youngsters smiling.” –Booklist
