"Beautifully illustrated . . . This is a perfect addition to elementary school libraries to support readers who love the great outdoors."--School Library Journal
"[A] lovely chronicle of an outdoor adventure... Readers may find it difficult to resist the call of the wild after closing the cover."--Publishers Weekly
"Well-designed pictures create a depth and fullness that immerse readers in the forest. Endmatter makes clever use of Wren's sketch pad to offer additional information about things seen in the woods. Utterly satisfying."--Kirkus Review, Starred
