Product Description
Pack a basket; we're going on a picnic! But picnics can be more than just a summertime event, and can definitely be more than the same old fried chicken and potato salad.

Somehow, food tastes better when it's eaten outside. With Packing Up a Picnic, kids can grab their favorite foods, head to a park, spread out the blanket and chow down!

A Survival Tool for Vacations
Part of the "Activities for Kids" series that includes Cooking on a Stick: Campfire Recipes for Kids; Cooking in a Can: More Campfire Recipes for Kids; Sleeping in a Sack: Camping Activities for Kids; Fishing in a Brook: Angling Activities for Kids; Wishing on a Star: Constellation Stories and Stargazing Activities; and Trekking on a Trail: Hiking Adventures for Kids, all of which are similarly kid-friendly and delightfully simple. Small trim size (6"x8") combined with bright graphics, easy to read text, and nine zingy chapters (Let's Picnic, Breakfast Picnic, Bicycle Picnic, Haunted Picnic, Snow Picnic, Surprise Picnic, Beach Picnic, Drive-In Picnic, Create Your Own Picnic) combine to make this one a hit. Kids should be encouraged to make picnics, a sort of recreational "running away" with friends, in my opinion. Each chapter has a few ideas for food (mostly traditional kid-stuff) and fun activities (again, traditional games that too often have fallen from tradition) that encourage kids to slow down their headlong rush into adult consumerhood and stop and be kids for a while. At risk of sounding like a retro old fogey, I must admit to loving this whole series because it encourages kids to be KIDS and do kid-stuff in mostly non-electric, non-media driven ways. The publisher's done a terrific job with this series which soon will include Riding on a Range: Western Activities for Kids; Haunting on a Halloween: Frightful Activities for Kids; and Putting on a Party: Adventure Parties for Kids. Highly recommended for parents, grandparents, Big Brothers/Sisters, mentors, and anyone with their hat turned around frontways. ... Read more

Great hunting resource for beginners
Let's Go Hunting, by Suzanne Slade, is a great resource for new hunters.She talks about all aspects of hunting from obeying laws, using proper safety measures, duck hunting, bow hunting and so much more.The book is more of a resource book then a story book.It is for early to middle elementary grades to learn good information on a very old sport.I believe that if a child wants to start learning more information about hunting, this would be a good place to start.
