Book Reviews of Willy Whitefeather's Outdoor Survival Handbook for Kids (Willy Whitefeather's)
Book Review: A WONDERFUL LEARNING TOOL FOR BOTH KIDS AND ADULTS!
Summary: 5 Stars
This small book is 95 pages of pure reading pleasure and for such a small volume, I cannot imagine how Willy Whitefeather was able to pack so much useful knowledge in and still have a delightfully readable book. I you and your children spend any time at all in the outdoors, camping, hiking, fishing or just wondering about, I can hardly imagine a more useful book. In fact, I would almost go as far as to say that this should be mandatory reading for any parent or child who ventures outside.
This book covers every thing from getting lost and surviving, to finding directions, going to potty, stings and hurts, talking sticks, things to watch for, campfires, lighting, rainstorms, hypothermia, common sense, proper dressing, shelter building and so much more. It covers survival in the desert, mountains, woods and swamps.
The book is amply supplied with wonderful black and white sketches that both kids and adults can relate to. The text, while simple, is not overly simple and is absolutely loaded with wisdom. I truly believe that a book such as this, read with the parent or care giver, is as important as learning to swim to assure your child's well being when they are out of doors.
I have been involved with the outdoors all my life, was actually camping on my own in the deep woods at the age of eight and my travels have been literally all over the world. Much of those travels have been in the back country where ever I was. I have received extensive survival training and, along with my wife, have certainly had some hair- raising experiences. As much as I thought I knew, I was still able to pick up new information with this one, and more importantly, it gave me a wonderful tool to be able to pass on knowledge to the little ones. I cannot stress enough the usefulness of this book. It is an absolute delight. If you can find a copy, I certainly recommend you add it to your and your child's library. You certainly will not be sorry for having this one on your shelf, or better yet, in your kid's hands.
