Campout Book Round-Up

Even though we are not going camping this summer, I consider it the perfect summertime activity & camped out quite a bit when I was growing up. I also went "glamping" a few times (which is when you stay in cabins or a camper.)
My favorite things were: mummy sleeping bags, reading by flashlight, playing card games, roasting marshmallows & s'mores, and playing games my dad made up around the campsite.
Do you like going camping?
Here's some fun books to look at if you & your family are going camping this summer!
