Golden Glow by Benjamin Flouw

While I read a small number of children's books each year for personal edification and pleaser, I read to small children for their edification and pleasure, and this book works for both of those endeavors. The book is aimed at a slightly higher reader than is sometimes targeted in picture books. There is no counting to be had, and while things have color, to be sure, that is not something it would be convenient to highlight. It is a book about camping, being in nature, and enjoying it. In addition to identifiable leaves and canopies of various trees, and some common flowere that can be found in the woods, the senter section of the book is devoted to the euqipment that Mr. Fox needs for his mountain adventure in search of the Golden Glow flower, something so rare that he has to be prepared to sleep and eat outside for days in order to find it. I think it gives a thorough and realistic equipment list and for parents who want to prepare their children for just such an adventure, this would be an excellent book.
