PreSchool-Grade 2-When Dad takes Lucille's older brother and sister camping, the youngest pig is left behind, and her mother tries to console her with fun projects and some homemade cookies. Refreshed from a nap, Lucille wakes up with an idea. Dragging her quilt downstairs, along with a bag of favorite toys, she and Mom make a tent of their own. Getting into the spirit, Mom proposes a picnic by the fire and, as the stars come out, the two crawl into sleeping bags and tell peaceful stories. Similar in theme to Kevin Henkes's Bailey Goes Camping (Greenwillow, 1985), this title is more fleshed out in both text and art. Lucille is full of spunk and verve and so it's only fitting that it's her idea to "camp in." The family dynamics are great-supportive while allowing for individuality. Everyone has an age-appropriate adventure and readers will recognize that even though it's hard to be left behind, it often works out for the best (no mosquitoes, marshmallows for breakfast). The vibrant pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations provide the perfect complement to the text.

PreS-Gr. 1. Young Lucille the pig, featured in Lucille's Snowsuit (2000) and Starring Lucille (2001), returns in a story that's right on target for younger siblings who feel excluded. Lucille is angry when she's told that she's too young to join her father, brother, and sister on an overnight camping trip, and she cries and sulks when they leave. Later in the day, though, Lucille decides to have her own camping experience--indoors, next to the sofa. With her mom's help, she builds a cozy tent from blankets, ladders, and sleeping bags, and mother and daughter roast marshmallows in the fireplace and gaze at the moon. Savvy young campers may wonder right along with Lucille why she's too young to join the outdoor adventure. But Lasky tells an endearing, realistic story in short sentences and simple language a new reader can handle, and Hafner perfectly captures Lucille's fury, brooding, excitement, and, finally, the tenderness she shares with her mother.
