Gr 3–6—This adorable collection of outdoorsy tips and projects—10 topics per volume—teach readers how to use a compass, make an igloo, and build a wormery. Cartoon illustrations and diagrams provide good details for following instructions and are especially helpful when it comes to tricky subjects like knot tying or making a homemade fishing rod. A peanut gallery of irreverent animals offers comic commentary from the margins.
VERDICT These clever books will inspire projects large and small.
After (the same) one-page overview including safety tips, each volume offers directions for outdoorsy or nature-themed activities such as mapmaking, rope tricks, animal tracking, and building snow shelters. A variety of text fonts, jazzy design features, and colorful cartoon illustrations keep things moving. A "Did You Know?" fact page concludes each book. This series will greatly appeal to young outdoor adventurers. Ind. Review covers these Go Wild titles: Be a Survivor, Be a Tracker, Be an Adventurer, and Be an Explorer.
