When Pappy Goes Hunting is a beautiful book for the children of deer hunters. The book shows the hunting lifestyle in a positive manner, which is wonderful for kids who only hear negative things about hunting in the media. The book is for young children, probably 3 to 7, and is written in verse. When Pappy Goes Hunting is a beautiful book.

This book is so great. I actually remember my father getting up in the morning and going off in the woods the same way the pappy in the book does.My daughter truly enjoyed it. There is just something so magical to the way it relates to the hunters of Central Pennsylvania. I would recommend it to anyone.

I purchased this book as used because it was supposed to be in very good condition. Instead, it arrived and not only was inscribed with ink on the first page, but had markings from aged tape that had dried and decomposed. At best it might have been fair condition in my mind.

When Pappy Goes Hunting is a wonderfully accurate story of a way of life that still exists. If you are in a family that is involved with hunting, your children will be able to compare this book with real life activities. If your family is not involved with hunting, this book will help you and your children understand why some people hunt. The illustrations of the country setting helps you visualize where hunting is allowed. This is a children's picture book, but all ages will enjoy the story and the pictures.
