Review

It’s too bad this didn’t arrive at the beginning of summer rather than at the end, but this camping primer for all ages should endure beyond the 1995 publishing season: packaged with a quality flashlight and batteries and a rescue whistle, this provides kids with a lively review of camping; from equipment and clothing to handling bears, learning first aid, and hiking. Beginners will relish the basics here. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: The Happy Camper Handbook: A Guide to Camping for Kids and Their Parents [With Whistle and Flashlight] (Spiral-bound)

A good basic starting point, especially for first time campers. The inclusion of a flashlight and whistle with the book is a great idea, as we train to carry a whistle and light in their pocket 24 hours a day in the woods. The book starts with the most essential information of all, what gear do I need to buy and what do I pack. It covers the selection of how to dress, food preparation,hiking safety, wild animals, and other solid information. Good safety stuff here, camping can get dangerous after all.
