Kindergarten-Grade 3-Chicago and her friend the cat return. Beginning readers will enjoy the enthusiastic rabbit and the reluctant feline's funny camping adventures. The five chapters revolve around a terrible stew dinner, an encounter with a bear, a short but strenuous hike, a wet rafting trip, and finally a decision to relax and do nothing. The cuddly characters, depicted in watercolors with pen detail, are placed effectively on the pages; the visual effect is very appealing. Koontz's melding of text and illustrations makes this another fine selection for young readers.

From Booklist
Gr. 1-2. In this second beginning reader about a large white bunny named Chicago and her friend Cat, the two take off for the woods on a camping trip. Chicago, much more the adventurer than her friend, warms up to outdoor meals, hiking, river rafting, and sleeping in a tent, while reluctant camper Cat prefers canned tuna, bus rides, and doing nothing. The gentle humor-spiced give-and-take between the two characters is enhanced by the droll watercolor paintings on every page. The five short chapters make this an ideal choice for readers who are looking for the appearance of chapter books but are not quite ready to read longer volumes. Deborah Abbott
