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!
  • Camping Books:

1. A Camping Spree with Mr. McGee
by: Chris Van Dusen

(Mr. McGee is so excited to get out in nature & take his dog on a camping trip with him. Of course, he makes s'mores by the campfire one night, but unfortunately, a snooping bear who loves marshmallows comes by their trailer & gets them into a bit of trouble. ...will they make it back home?)

2. Curious George Goes Camping
by: H.A. Rey
(George loves learning all about camping, especially campfires! But he takes campfire safety a little too seriously, & puts out a few fires around his camp before his friend in the yellow hat catches up to him.)
www.amazon.com/Curious-George-Goes-Camping-Margret/dp/0395978351/ref=sr_1_20?dchild=1&keywords=camping+books&qid=1625975641&sr=8-20
3. Llama Llama Goes Camping
by:Anna Dewdney

4. The Camping Trip
by: Jennifer K. Mann
(Ernestine has the chance to go camping with her aunt & cousin, and while she’s mostly excited, she’s also nervous about leaving her dad behind. And she learns how tough it is to put up a tent, doesn’t want to swim in a lake (because of the fish) & dislikes dinner. But at least she can enjoy s’moresover a campfire. E can’t fall asleep that night & wants to call her dad; her aunt takes her out to look at the stars, & it helps her feel better.)

7. When We Go Camping
by: Margiret Rurrs & Andrew Kiss

9. Scaredy Squirrel Goes Camping
by: Melanie Watts
(Good old Scaredy! He's always overthinking things, including how to immerse himself in the outdoors experience without actually going camping. He goes on a mission to find a plug for his TV, where he can comfortably watch outdoors' & camping shows. But along the way, he runs into campers-- & he learns actual camping is not so bad after all!)
