Review
Anyone who has ever gone camping will certainly express delight in the authenticity of the subjects and illustrations in this topical collection of poetry. As for the fledgling camper, the excitement and joys of these camping poems will serve as a snippet of information for future camping trips. Accented by warm and inviting acrylic illustrations of nature’s beautiful and magnificent attributes, topics include setting up the tent, campfires, toasting marshmallows, rainstorms, and various encounters with wildlife, all written from a young girl’s perspective and in storylike form. Kristine O’Connell George has struck gold with this collection of contemporary poetry for children.
