The hike / Alison Farrell. - 1 volume (unpaged) : chiefly color illustrations ; 23 x 26 cm

Portland author and illustrator Alison Farrell has created something uniquely wonderful here. Part field guide, part adventure story, and part easy-reading graphic novel, this love song to nature is a must-read for anyone who loves the outdoors, especially here in the Pacific Northwest. (Miller Library Staff) Three friends set out on a day hike to explore their local forest, intending to climb to the top of the hill, where they will plant a flag, read a poem, and release feathers into the wind. "The Hike is a plucky and sweet adventure story about three intrepid young female explorers set out to conquer the outdoors in their local forest. Here is the best and worst of any hike: from picnics to puffing and panting, deer-sighting to detours. This spirited picture book is filled with lyrical language that captures the majesty of the natural world, coupled with a fun narrative throughout. Features a glossary and scientific backmatter. Includes a sketchbook by one of the characters that highlights aspects of the hike. Abundant labels throughout for scientific learning. The Hike is about how fun it can be to explore nature in your own backyard. This book is a must-have for budding scientists, best friends, and all adventurers in preschool and kindergarten." --

Recommended for preschool (age 0-5) and primary school (age 6-12).
