Book Reviews of When We Go Camping
Book Review: Realistic Camping Scenes
Summary: 5 Stars
As part of our preschool autumn unit on camping, this was one of the introductory books we used for the unit. We began with a child-generated list of what we knew about camping. This book followed that discussion and the children were thrilled to find the things we mentioned throughout the book. Their eyes were wide with wonder as I turned every page. They walked through typical rustic campground experiences (not the KAO type!)with one line written on each page to describe the action. Example: "When we go camping, we catch trout, chop wood, and make a fire. (facing page) We hoist our food high up in a tree to keep the bears away." (bear tracks beside the print!) Animals appear very naturally in the woods or somewhere in each scene as you would see them in real life. Having seen a Piliated Woodpecker in the forest, I was delighted to see one in this book. Each page is a work of art making me want to seek out more books by this illustrator, Andrew Kiss. The cover is very representative of what you will find on every page. Highly recommend.
Summary of When We Go Camping
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.
