Into the Wild

Gracie is unsure whether Little Nye and his friends are ready to take a trip into the wild.

As she packs her rucksack, she warns them of the possibility of meeting grizzly bears and the importance of being brave in the dark and being able to climb mountains.

Having been assured that the others have all the necessary qualities to survive the perilous trip, she uses her supremely honed map-reading skills to navigate to the bottom of the garden where many exotic things (but luckily no bears) are waiting to be discovered.

This robust, brightly illustrated, smaller format picture book explores the joy of pretend play and the wondrous scope of a child's imagination.
