The Camper's Companion: Tips and Tales for the Trail Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sometimes we only have a few moments to read when on camp-outs. It needs to be handy, packable, and satisfying. This little companion book is packed with helpful hints, fun poems, and short stories - to read alone or to share with others. You don't need a bookmark, because they're all a joy to re-visit. I started mine on a trip, then came home to finish the book by reading a few pages every night. Enjoyable for any age.
