Kids Can Press says, "A new book in the bestselling Life in the Wild series follows the bear, the moose, and the beaver as they give camping a try – what could possibly go wrong?

A bear, a moose, and a beaver decide they’re finally going to go camping, and they find the perfect spot right next to a lake. The moose has brought along a camping guide with tips such as: make sure your tent poles and guidelines are securely tied; never leave a campfire unattended; and keep your food packed away in a secure container … none of which they follow! Who would want to work when there is fun to be had? Naturally, one thing after another goes wrong, so, naturally, they start blaming each other. Lucky for them, though, the wild is a great place to be reminded of the most important thing of all: Everything is better when they work together!

Nicholas Oldland’s hugely popular Life in the Wild picture-book series is treasured for its lovable if imperfect characters and their humorous approach to life. And while the stories are filled with their misadventures and mishaps, the friends always learn heartwarming life lessons. This funny, contemporary fable champions the rewards of hard work and the joys of nature and the wild outdoors, and it makes a terrific read-aloud. Oldland’s distinctive expressive illustrations chronicle the action with plenty of visual humor, making this a great choice for younger pre-readers, too. As with all the books in the series, this one offers excellent character education lessons on the importance of teamwork."

I enjoyed the story, appreciated the humor, and am so happy to see the illustrations not only perfectly illustrate the story, but also provide a wealth of fun details which combine to make Camping in the Wild even better! This is a book the children you love will want to read over and over again!
