Description
Hiking is more than just a walk in the woods. Every outing is an adventure, and you never know what a hike will bring. By reading this book, you’ll learn where to go to hike, when to go, what to wear, and what to bring with you. You’ll also learn how to take care of nature and how to stay safe while on the trail. But best of all, this book shows you how you can have the most fun while hiking.
For some kids, hiking itself might be adventure enough. But you can also bring along a nature journal or create land art. Bring a special hiking buddy with you—one who knows lots of good jokes, riddles, and games to pass the time. You can hike with your pooch, and believe it or not, you can even hike with llamas!
The more you know about hiking, the more fun you can have on your adventures. So read the tips in this book at home before you go, and then head for the great outdoors and use the compass to help you find your way. Happy hiking!

f you love to spend time outdoors, then this is the perfect book for you! We love to hike, and this book is chalk full of awesome ideas and tips for all your hiking adventures.
We spend a lot of time outdoors with the Boy Scouts, and this is one book that I am going to recommend to the parents of our new scouts to look into. From clothing to food, and more, this book outlines and shares information on a level that kids 8 and up will easily understand.
Get ready to learn all the safety tips and fantastic ideas for hiking! Then get outside and enjoy nature!

Ranger Rick Kids' Guide to Hiking by Helen Olsson is a have to have book if you are going hiking. The book is written for kids 8+ but if you have never been hiking it would be good for adults as well. The book tells you where to go , when to go, what to take with you and more.
There are lots of illustrations throughout the book to make the book even more enjoyable. And of Course Ranger Rick is on almost every page. He is an adorable raccoon. The book is written in easy to understand language, and filled with tips, ideas, and even some hiking rules.
I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com to read and review.

This book will convince even the most reluctant boy or girl that hiking is a really fun experience. Through short snipets of information and advice, the author shares tips about what to dress, how to get ready and how to behave in the middle of the nature. Although for many kids there is no fan if there's no computer game or smart phone involved, hiking is presented in this book as an activity where you don't necessarily follow some nature-lover parent but can be done together with your peers and in a funny way. There are a lot of activities and suggestions about how to spend your time outdoors and how to get involved in common projects and even some creative activities. A good read for the summer holidays!
