Bookroo's summary

Two adventurous kids decide to camp out in their backyard, armed with coffee, pickles, and a jump rope. As they set up their cozy tent, they relish their independence. But when the pickles run out and mosquitoes swarm, their grand expedition takes an unexpected turn. Can they handle the surprises of the night, or will they need a little help from Dad? Discover the quietly comic tale of youthful exploration and the simple joys of everyday adventures.

From the publisher

They have made a very serious decision—they are going on an adventure. All by themselves. Just the two of them. They will bring coffee and blankets and a cozy tent. They will pack a backpack with a flashlight and something to cuddle. And, just in case, a jump rope to use as a lasso. They set up camp in the lee of a small mountain (e.g. their backyard) and get ready for an evening of independence and adventure. But when the pickles are gone and the mosquitoes come out, what’s to be done? The Grand Expedition is the quietly comic story of two kids and their dad and the everyday adventures that make life great.
