Kids love camping, and in this delightful children's book, vivid, full-color photographs evoke the sights and sounds of enjoying days and nights outdoors. Paired with these images are quotes on cozy tents, happy campfires, funny animals, tummy-filling food, hanging out with family and appreciating the natural world.
Summary: "What Camping Can Teach Us: Life's Lessons Learned from the Great Outdoors" is a short and simple book that portrays various quotes and pictures of wildlife. Throughout the book, the words correlate with the photographs although they are quoted from various people and the pictures inspire vivid imagery.
Analysis: It was a very simple book, but a little too simple for me. I don't think it would necessarily teach kids about camping other than letting them see the pictures, because it just gives quotes instead of providing actual information to the readers.
How I will use this book: This book could be used to teach kids about the basics of camping and show them what it looks like. However, I would not actually want to use this book in the classroom because it just does not have enough information to teach kids very much and I don't think it's useful.
