Bookroo's summary

Join a family on a camping adventure from sunrise to sunset. They chop wood, catch fish, and explore the wilderness, discovering hidden animal tracks. As night falls, they gather around the campfire for stories. Each page reveals a new creature, inviting readers to delve into the glossary for more wildlife secrets. This journey captures the essence of summer, blending exploration with learning.

From the publisher

In this beautifully illustrated book, one busy family finds lots to do from sun up to sunset. At the campsite, there’s wood to chop for the fire and fish to catch. And there’s lots of time to explore, climb rocks, splash in the lake, and discover animals in the shadows of the woods. As afternoon turns to evening, supper needs to be made, and just before bed, stories are told around the campfire.

When We Go Camping is as instructional as it is delightful. Each painting highlights the tracks of one animal, which curve from the text into the illustration. Readers can turn to the glossary for more details about the wildlife depicted on each page.

When We Go Camping is a perfect way to preserve summer memories all year long.
