Yeah, the outdoors can be scary, but you’ve got this indispensable, laugh-out-loud survival guide. So what are you waiting for? Get out there!

Storyglory Cautions: This funny book includes "potty language" but more out of necessity than of potty humor. For example, it addresses what one should do to soothe a jellyfish sting, how to use the restroom in the woods (with silhouette images of various squatting techniques such as "invisible chair"), and how to track animals (hint: it involves scat). All references are indeed part of learning wilderness survival skills.

Recommended Age: 8-12
