An indoor camping detour

A family’s first outdoor camping trip goes badly enough that they retreat to Campingland, an indoor theme park offering carefully controlled versions of the outdoors. Its artificial “fishing” and “animals” prove less satisfying than expected, setting up a return to the real campsite with a chance to approach the experience differently. The contrast between simulated nature and unpredictable outdoor mishaps gives the story its central comic situation, while the family’s plans touch on preparation, flexibility, and making memories when things do not go as expected.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in camping and outdoor adventures.
  • Families looking for a picture book about a camping trip that goes awry.
  • Young readers who enjoy humorous stories about unexpected mishaps.

Book overview

A New York Times bestselling author's entertaining take on a quintessential outdoor experience--and why sometimes the best memories are a result of the unexpected--with laugh-out-loud illustrations.

A family's excited to go camping! But they don't know what they're doing, and it does NOT go well. Then they see Campingland, a perfect indoor camping theme park! Perfect temperature. Perfect "fishing." Perfect "animals." But...PERFECTLY BORING!

Will they give outdoor camping another try? Be a little more prepared? A lot more relaxed? And NOT hug any skunks this time?
