 Great book! January 6, 2009
I purchased this book for my 8 year old cousin, but when it arrived and I began picking through it, realized I may need a copy myself. br /br /The book moves quickly from topic to topic, contains recipes, cute illustrations, and tons of information. After receiving the book, my cousin wanted to immediately make a "one tree tent" in the living room. br /br /My aunt and uncle were also thrilled with the purchase, as they found it very interesting and well written as well. It will serve the family well for many years. There is information about animals, stars and constellations, scary stories, knots, wind, clouds...just about everything you needed to know about the great outdoors without being preachy or long winded. br /br /It's a book well suited to many ages, and has good information even for people who don't camp. (Though it may make you pitch a tent in your backyard once just to try it!) Camp Out makes you want to go outside and do something...it doesn't matter what.
 Some great ideas in a kid-friendly book! August 18, 2008
This book is nice for motivated older children (8 and up) to flip through on their own before a family camping trip. They can fold down the pages of things they'd like to try and really play a role in preparing for the adventure. Its also great for an organized parent who wants to have some rainy day plans, arts and crafts projects, or nature activities on hand. Just make sure to check the supply lists (all pretty basic) before you go on your trip. FYI, a lot of the projects are great for doing in the backyard, too. A nicely laid-out book with a nice tone.
I Camped Out and Brought Along the Book August 3, 2008
Saw this book reviewed in Family Fun Magazine and it sounded good so I bought it. Turns out the review was true - this book is excellent and it's not just for kids. I really enjoyed reading it from cover to cover and learned a few things myself. This past weekend we brought it with us to Fool Hollow Lake State Park in Arizona. The campfire recipes are great. I loved the Banncock Bread. It was delicious! My daughter also enjoyed the ghost stories in the back of the book and we sang the songs (The Frogs Keep Hopping On) around the campfire. I recommend this book if you and/or your family are beginner campers and want a little inspiration and basic information about what to pack, how to pack and how to make the most of a rainy day in a tent.
Camp Out Review June 10, 2008
This book had everything we needed to go on a survival hike and camp. It had tons of good ideas, fun games, lists of what we needed, etc. I would highly recommend this book.
 Typical May 1, 2008
Some parts of this book are quite interesting in its ideas for activities. All the games described are basically hide seek while making animal sounds. the recipes are easy and fun for kids, the packing list and common sense tips are straightforward, easy for kids to follow or read. the songs and stories are typical, been there, done that, nothing new. Illustrations are quirky and cute.br /reccomend for the 1st time camper or if you want to give your kids something to read before the trip.
