"Perhaps no one is better at distilling big ideas down to simple board book concepts than Paprocki, who never seems daunted by the topic but just digs right in....For shelves about the great outdoors, here's a way to invite young children into the joys of hiking and connecting with nature."--School Library Journal A fun collection of illustrations for young readers featuring things that toddlers might see on a hiking adventure or time spent outdoors in nature.

They will also learn about what to wear and bring for excursions such as boots, sunglasses, water bottles, and snacks. Another delightful BabyLit alphabet board book featuring Greg Paprocki's classically retro mid-century art style that's proven to be a hit with both young children and adults.Brief description: Greg Paprocki works full-time as an illustrator and book designer.

Review Quotes: Perhaps no one is better at distilling big ideas down to simple board book concepts than Paprocki, who never seems daunted by the topic but just digs right in. "F is for flashlight," and "G is for granola bar," but "K is for knapsack," which feels with that silent letter K like a plot twist, and "N is for night sky." Diverse families scamper across these pages that overflow with natural settings, camping and hiking details, and different seasons; the book only falters on "eXtra," the Achilles' heel of ABC books. VERDICT For shelves about the great outdoors, here's a way to invite young children into the joys of hiking and connecting with nature.--Kimberly Olson Fakih "School Library Journal"
