A great book for kids who need to spend more time outdoors. A little dull for the farm kids who were raised outdoors.

We loved the beautiful illustrations and how much detailed information the author included on each park and it's history. Learned about many parks and animals that we had never even heard of prior! Would recommend both young or older children that are interested in learning about animals. Seems like a fun guide for helping families looking to explore somewhere new too!

This book is full of great information for kids (and adults) to use in case of an emergency in the outdoors. Each section has colorful and useful illustrations to help understand the text. The text covers just about any situation that might happen when in the outdoors, and how to handle it. There are things such as what to do if you get lost. What is you sprain your ankle? What if you get stung by a bee? And so much more. The most interesting part was the stories about actual situations that real people got into in the wilderness, and survived! That shows that it can be done and gives encouragement. I think this information should be widely available and hope that many kids and their parents will read this. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

My 7 year old really enjoyed this book and it contains valuable information that even adults can benefit from. There's helpful tips if you get hurt by a creature, lost, or sick in the outdoors. There's also information on how to disinfect water and build a fire!

A very fun and helpful take on a coffee table-esque reference book. Though the title indicates it is for "kids" it is more aptly geared towards young adults and would make a fine addition to any YA nonfiction collection.

This is a great book for anyone. It's made for children however adults could really benefit from this as well as these are great skills for anyone to have. It's has a lot of pictures to help hold attention of young ones and also those with ADHD.

Super detailed and comprehensive guide for kids to learn outdoor skills. The illustrations were so well-done and accurately showed each skill at all the right moments. It is clear that the illustrator is very talented, and I would not have been mad if all the illustrations were done by them. They were perfect in the way that these drawings will definitely help kids be more equipped for various outdoor situations. Going off of that, the writing was easy-to-understand and it was amazing how the author managed to think of every possible situation that one might encounter while hiking. I have no doubt that kids will feel 100% prepared after reading this guide. This book will definitely be so useful to many people, and all of the information mentioned in this book is relevant and important. Every part fit in perfectly, and the book was organized nicely into chapters that made sense. Additionally, the way the entire book was written will be appealing to kids and will help the information sink in even better.
Lastly, I have one note about the layout of two pages. On pages 101 and 105, the way the last page continued onto the next page was confusing with the way the paragraphs were placed. I think that doing something about these two little problems will help get rid of any potential confusion while reading.
Overall, though, great book! Bravo!

WOW! I feel like everyone should have a copy of this book that they keep in their car or with them while hiking or camping. This book is geared towards kids, but it is so informative that I feel that it would benefit people of all ages. If you can think of something that might go wrong while you are out in nature, it is probably included in this book with valuable advice about what to do in that situation. There are 5 parts: getting lost and found in various locations and climates, running into natural problems, running into wild creatures such as bears, snakes, insects, spiders, etc., getting hurt or sick such as a jellyfish sting, sunburn, sprained ankle, etc., and miscellaneous. The photos and illustrations are extremely helpful. The real life stories with positive outcomes are interesting and inspiring. I loved the footprint tracking guide, the informative trail blaze guide, and the page about staying in place and remaining positive and calm because it is so easy to just panic and feel anxious in a frightening situation. The only improvement that I can think of for this amazing book is to change the font color on the sections where the background is yellow because it is tough to read the green font against it. I would highly recommend this book to everyone I know. Thank you NetGalley and Rowman and Littlefield Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this title. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A must add for any outdoor schooling homeschooling! Age appropriate and abundant! You must have this title on yourself, endless fun for all and a great way to add hands on activity in learning. So very thankful to have access to this title! Thank you netgalley and Globe Pequot | Falcon Guides for access. 100 daily lessons for outdoor fun!

Advanced book @netgalley kids book recap 📚✏️✂️📖🖌️🖍️

The Puzzle Piece by Andrea Mendoza (May 13) The most beautiful story in how to help children love themselves and be their most authentic self. I’m excited to read more of her books. Wonderful conversations to follow this with my kids!

Gathered at the Table by Glenn’s Nellist (Sept. 9) Using poems, it explains Jesus last supper and his time at the table. Such a profound, kid appropriate explanation of the communion.

Rosie’s Wild Ride by Paige Murray (Oct 7) Her completion doesn’t go quite as planned, but what if we keep going and ask “What if I can?” as we follow big dreams! I can’t wait to get this for my daughter. Loved the illustrations.

Night Magic by Leigh Ann Henson (Sept 23) This was SUCH a fun book of information. Why does it take so long for the eye to adjust to night? Lots of great information with this book and at a child’s level.

The Mountain and the Goat by Slamk Taghaddas (Sept 23) I loved the concept of teaching resourcefulness in this one. Loved the storyline.

Sea Dog Boats by Astrid Sheckels (Jan 14) To learn all about boats, let the dogs lead the way. All about the ABCs and nautical adventures this is a really cute story!

Twelve Days of Summer by Sherri Meret (July 1) “On the first day of summer…” The animals take you on a summer adventure as you sing along! My kids LOVED this adorable book.

Franklin’s Trees by AJ Skenkman (July 1) A story about young President Franklin. A history major myself, this was a really cute informative book.

Outdoor Skills for Kids by Buck Tilton (June 3) My son thought this book was the bees knees. He learned so much from it and kept talking about “when you approach an animal this is what to do..” He was so excited to share all he learned.

A Very Dinosaur Christmas by Adam Wallace (Sept 2) The giggles with this one! Dinosaurs at Christmas is silly.

Spooky Poems Aloud by Joseph Coelho

The Not So Wicked Witch by Bergen Steven’s

Pips Adventure by Ashling Lindsay

Paul the Peacock by Tilly Matthews

Happy Halloween Fiona by Zondervan

The Adventures of Cam E. Chameleon by Donna Herweck Rice

I loved this. It’s a great little guide for kids to learn or refresh the skills they need to survive in the wilderness. There are so many useful tips! I loved how it also included some real-life survival stories—and they were kids by themselves! The point they stressed over and over is to stay put as soon as you realize you’re lost. That was mentioned a number of times because it’s so important.

Almost any calamity that could possibly befall you is covered here. I highly recommend it, even if your kids aren’t interested in the outdoors. The knowledge may come in handy someday.

Thank you to NetGalley and Falcon Guides for the eARC in exchange for my honest feedback.

A must-have and read book for families and children. It is informative - the design and structure allow for an easy and engaging read. You can pick a certain section and read that section instead of reading it chronologically,

We liked the page designs, the layout and the patterns, but the illustrations and photos did not appeal to us much.

This book is informative and teaches kids (and adults) outdoor skills and survival tips - there are some interesting real life stories too. Those were very encouraging and life-affirming.
