Ranger Rob: A Campfire Story

by Corinne Delporte (Adapter), Nelvana Ltd. (Illustrator)

Ranger Rob is a young ranger-in-training who ziplines, swings and even snowboards his way around Big Sky Park, the coolest natural adventure park ever. It features all sorts of ecosystems and Rob thinks of it as his very own adventure-filled playground. With so much to explore and discover he’s in for the experience of a lifetime―and you’re invited to come along for the ride! Ranger ready to get outside?

In this story Rob sets out to find an exciting new tale for Campfire Story Night. But an emergency involving a giant runaway ball in Big Sky Park disrupts his plans. When duty calls, the young ranger springs into action! After a series of mishaps (and daring rescues!) the ball is back at Ranger Station and Rob realizes that he now has the most exciting story ever to tell.

We’ve never watched this show but the book was fine.

Maybe it was the formatting on my Kindle. Maybe it's a Canadian thing. But this book didn't click at all for me. As a camper, I was looking forward to finding a book I could read to some of my preschool clients in the warmer months. Rob the Ranger want to have a new adventure, but it gets a bit sideways. They roll into the forest and all kinds of things occur. But it was hard to follow. Really hard to follow. I am hoping the formatting is what confused me. But, as an ebook I can't recommend this book for young children as it is written and illustrated. I liked the illustrations, which looked a bit like Pixar. Quite nice. Still needs some work.

Thank you to #NetGalley and the publisher for a pre-publication ebook in exchange for an honest review.

This book feels like it is a TV show. You know the type. Where they take a kids animated kids show, put it in paper format. The book is fine, but I think it would work better with a rewrite, or just stick to watching it on TV. It jumps from one idea to the next with no real segway.

Ranger Rob : A campfire story, is a book based on a Nick Jr children's programme.
It is a cute story of Rob and the antics he gets up to when he is sidetracked from trying to think of an adventure story to talk about during campfire that evening. Little does he know he is actually experiencing his very own crazy adventure.
Fun characters and a great story that fans of Ranger Rob will enjoy!

Thank you to Net Galley and Chouette Publishing for the advanced copy!

Ranger Rob is a ranger in training at Big Sky Park. In this book he is chasing after a giant runaway ball with plenty of problems trying to get it. I found the characters very cute and the fact that Ranger Rob is a park ranger in training is adds to a great story. The Illustrations were very pleasing and the storyline flowed. I recommend this book for 3-5 yr olds and beginner readers.
