5.0 out of 5 stars This does not belong under baby books!, July 12, 2001

This review is from: Improve Your Survival Skills (Usborne Superskills) (Paperback)

This book is geared toward the pre-teen/early teen reading level... it would be way beyond a toddlers perspective!

It is packed full of information... from how to struggle through a snow drift to dodging danger in the big city. There are lots of facts about survival kits, first aid, food, shelter and map-reading. It has wonderful, clear illustrations.

This review is from: Improve Your Survival Skills (Usborne Superskills) (Paperback)

Usbourne's Improve Your Survival skills was a favorite book of my son's. I used it often when I was looking for help with Cub Scouts and later, scouting. Written in an easy to understand way, with an emphasis on safety and responsibility, this book is a treasure trove of outdoor information. There are illustrations and very detailed instructions. What makes this book stand out is that it is written in a very straightforward manner, no talking down to the young reader. being in the outdoors is presented as an adventure and a challenge that can be met by the prepared youngster. A real must for any young camping enthusiast.....or anyone you hope to introduce to the wonders of the outdoors.
