4-6Checkerboard Adventure Library: Outdoor Adventure series.
Each book includes a brief history of the outdoor activity, commonly used gear and equipment, safety tips, and relevant rules and procedures. The texts are generally clear, but they can be redundant and condescending; though the writing is directed at upper-elementary readers, the design is babyish. Some sidebars and many photographs complement the texts. Glos., ind. Review covers these Checkerboard Adventure Library: Outdoor Adventure! titles: Archery, Boating, Camping, Fishing, Hiking, and Hunting.
