Join a family on a charming journey through the wilderness, navigating mountains, bridges, and forests to their campsite. As they explore, young readers learn spatial concepts like 'beside' and 'next to.' With the sun setting, they cozy up in their tent, dreaming under the stars. Meanwhile, a playful group of animals embarks on their own amusing adventure, adding humor and delight to the vibrant illustrations. This enchanting tale invites children to discover the beauty of nature and the joy of exploration, making it a perfect read for little adventurers and their guides.

From the publisher

In Susan Gal’s delightful young-concept book, a family travels up a mountain, over a bridge, and under a canopy of trees to reach their campsite in the great outdoors. A forest hike offers more opportunities to showcase words that describe spacial relationships and show young readers where they are in the world. Beside a lake! Next to a waterfall! On top of a mountain! Then after the sun slips behind the hills, they’ll snuggle alongside each other and dream sweet dreams inside their tent among the trees. Gal’s pictures capture all the beauty of the natural world. And she’s included a humorous cast of animal characters on a parallel journey of their own, so the art is full of funny things to spot. This is a gem of a story for parents and teachers to share with their happy campers.
