As parents and grandparents know some kids' picture books
transcend age and may actually be more fun for adults. Just
out "Camping Spree with Mr. Magee" is an absolute joy. It's about
a man and his dog and his small trailer (somewhere between a
molded
fiberglass and a teardrop) camping in the Bend, Oregon area.
There's a bear and marshmallows and lots more. The artwork
is downright superb and the rhyming story begs to be read over
and over. There's even a hitching incident! Unlike most kids'
picture books this one isn't overly large and will easily find a permanent
home in the smallest of camping trailers. Author/Illustrator is
Chris Van Dusen and price in hardcover is $14.95 or less. I guarantee
all will want it!
