PreS-Gr 3 Most children will relate to this precocious child and her endless questions as she and her father take a hike. The slightly bedraggled dad answers every query and supports his -princess - by holding her hand as she crosses the creek and hoisting her up on his shoulders so she can see a bird's nest. As they progress, the cartoon illustrations show the curious youngster, her ever-present pup, and the changing landscape. A scavenger hunt at the end sends the children back into the book to find -hidden - pictures. This is a really nice read-aloud for parents and teachers.--Beverly Combs, Webb Middle School, Garland, TX

Mike Gordon was brought up in the big city of Manchester, and although he spent time camping in the cold, wet climate of northern England, he soon learned the comfort of five-star hotels. He now resides in dry Santa Barbara, where he spends his days drawing the great outdoors but feels more at home in the malls close to home.
