Customer Reviews: Excellent for children 5-95February 22, 1999 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
As a veteren member of a Search and Rescue team, I found this book to right on target for anyone going into the woods for a picnic, a day hike or an extended outing. The basic premises of Be Prepared and Stay Put once lost will help any person young or old who is confused about where they are and how to get back. The book is designed as a teaching tool for children with "science project" ideas which help young children learn key principles about staying alive and getting found. If more people read and used the ideas in this book, Search and Rescue teams would spend more time at home and less time looking for lost people. My children love the story and don't even realize they are learning valuable life skills.
