Reviews

A Nominee for the Show Me Readers Award (Missouri)

"Blending classic camping gags with trenchant satire, it's an ideal comedy for a virtual reality-obsessed world." -Publishers Weekly

"Burks' digital illustrations hilariously illustrate the family's mishaps with sharp comedic timing...A hilarious ending will bring another round of laughs from readers." -Booklist

"Dyckman's straightforward and energetic prose makes for an engaging story. The use of speech bubbles with a large, playful font for the dialogue encourages interactive participation for emerging as well as more proficient readers. Burks's digital illustrations are full of humorous details. The candy-colored vistas of Campingland are in sharp contrast to the gray-weather outdoor scenes of the real campsite." -The Horn Book Magazine

"An original and fun read from start to finish, Campingland is an ideal and highly recommended pick..." -Midwest Book Review

"Perfect for camping enthusiasts and anyone interested in the outdoors." -Story Monsters Ink
