Ranger Rick Kids' Guide to Camping: All you need to know about having fun in the outdoors
Where can I go camping? What gear should I take with me? What fun stuff is there to do? Ranger Rick Kids' Guide to Camping has the answers for you! Plus, this book has a real working compass inside to help you navigate through the wilderness.
If you’re like most kids who love the outdoors, you want to do more than go on picnics or hike a nature trail. You don’t want to go home at the end of the day. You want to stay out in the woods, mountains, or desert. What you want to do is camp! With Ranger Rick Kids' Guide to Camping, you'll learn how to make roughing it easy. Inside are great tips for choosing the best campsite and setting up your home away from home. Once you’re done reading this book, you’ll know why you may want to get a self-supporting 4-season tent or a “mummy” sleeping bag with a specific comfort rating. You’ll know how to pitch your tent, build a fire, make a meal, and entertain yourself after it gets dark. And maybe most importantly, you’ll know exactly what to do when “nature calls” and there are no bathrooms around!
The more you learn about camping, the more fun you’ll have on your next camping adventure. So read the book, and then head for the great outdoors and use the compass to help you find your way. Happy camping!

What a great book for young camping enthusiasts or wannabes! The authors do not talk down to young readers, but rather use camping vocabulary like "loft" and "latrine" with plenty of context rich and picture clues. All the basics are there plus more. As a backpacker, I would be happy to put this book into the hands of my grandchildren and my library patrons in ages 8-12 years. Younger readers would enjoy this as a read aloud with parents. Teachers will enjoy the non-fiction text features and context clues and could easily use this in a guided reading group of active boys. (Review of digital ARC from EdelweissPlus)

This book covers every type of camping. It almost made me miss our family camping trips. Almost!

We love to camp so this was a great book to read with my eight-year-old before we head out for our first adventure this year. The text is well laid out and not overwhelming and the photographs are great. This is a great camping book for a home collection since it comes with a compass.
