Do princesses make happy campers? That is a wonderful question.
Do Princesses Make Happy Campers? is a book about camping complaints - and how to look at the bright side of all of the aspects of camping. The princess in this book is impatient, helpful (?), wet, inventive, imaginative, adoptive, adventurous, hungry, and inquisitive. Told in rhyme, Do Princesses Make Happy Campers? points young readers towards the excitement of camping and how to make do and enjoy the adventure in whatever form it takes.
Campers and parents of princesses will love reading about camping and talking about family camping trips. Maybe readers will even be inspired to plan one last camping trip before school starts and the weather gets too cold. Happy camping!
KID KANDY:
Make a Tent
If you have a two-person tent, set it up in a shady area of the yard or right in the middle of the living room.
If you don't have a tent, make one by spreading a flat sheet over a table (first move the chairs).
Make a pretend campfire with wads of newspaper and orange and red construction paper.
Cook dinner over the campfire with toy pots and pans. Don't forget the s'mores!
Use a sleeping bag or folded blanket for resting.
Put on a backpack, load a bottle of water, grab the binoculars, and head out to explore the great outdoors (your backyard).
Who's ready to go camping?
