Summer by the River

We are guests of nature.

Three days by the river: a tent, a campfire, fishing — and a lot of mistakes! Lily packs a backpack that won’t close, Finley builds a fire in the wrong place, and a grumpy raccoon visits the camp. With Bruno the beaver, the river keeper, the friends learn to do it right.

  • One big read-aloud camping adventure in ten chapters
  • Four campfire recipes you can also cook at home
  • Outdoor safety and Leave No Trace, made simple
