Beautiful illustrated book about a family outing. Not only does it exemplify family togetherness, but also the important of being one with nature and allowing our children to explore the world we live in.

Yes, Let's by Galen Goodwin Longstreth is a story about a family day in the woods, from sun-up to sun-down. The rhyming text takes the reader through waking up, packing gear, riding there, hiking, playing, swimming, eating, and eventually sleepily returning home. Every sentence begins with "Let's," inviting the reader to join in the fun. The understated verse conjures up visual images. The illustrator shows a family that mostly enjoys each other, at least most of the time. There is lot's of humor in the illustrations, as well as details hinting at the personalities of each family member.

I received this ARC from Tanglewood Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

This is the first time I've seen a children's book that touts the value of family time spent outdoors, and it's absolutely lovely! It shows children of all ages and realistically depicts what it'd be like for a family of six to have an adventure. I'll definitely be recommending this to my friends and family!
