PreS-K–With its sturdy built-in handle, this colorful title will accompany young naturalists through many hiking adventures, or even just through the library stacks. A diverse cast of children and their caregivers prepare and set off on a variety of hikes, from Olympic National Park to Acadia National Park. The illustrations have a natural palette of greens and browns with a child-friendly collage featuring a host of hidden animals to further engage the target audience. The final page features an age-appropriate and very accessible recipe for a healthy trail mix that children will love preparing, as part of a classroom unit or otherwise.
VERDICT Encouraging children and their families to enjoy time outdoors, this is perfect guidance for this demographic that can be carried along on adventures, or enjoyed as a daydream.
