Review Detail

It's summer vacation and to Oakley the Squirrel, that means it's time to go camping. But he and his friends have to make sure they've packed everything they need, so they take the time to count each item. All are pertinent things needed for a fun camping trip, and everything is mini and squirrel-sized which is just too adorable.

This book will help teach young children how to count to ten while encouraging outdoor activities. The format is set up perfectly to hold a child's interest. From the bright font for the items we're counting, to the strategically placed squirrels, to the easy flow rhyming scheme, it kept my daughter smiling as she counted. While she already knows how to count, she still loved testing her skills and pointing to each item. I love the camping theme and how it encourages children to use counting when planning activities.


Final Verdict: I would recommend this to younger children who are learning to count and enjoy animals and camping.
