Hike

Illustrator: Pete Oswald

I once heard a standup comedian joke that “in Europe, if we see a mountain we leave it alone. But in America, people hike it”.  I am not sure how true is that statement but this book is yet another example of America’s wonderful hiking culture. There are no words in this book. The kids have to use their imagination and construct the story.  The pictures are uncomplicated and convey a very simple story of travel, togetherness and nurturing. My daughter enjoyed the different landscapes the story moves through and the animals they see. We hike a lot as a family and she really enjoyed pictures about what the kid packs for a hike.
