Charlie & Mouse Outdoors
The fourth book in this easy beginning chapter book series takes the easy-going siblings on a weekend camping trip with their parents and, as typical of young children, they get bored on the way there. When their dad suggests they make up a story, older brother Charlies does, and their fictional adventures carry them through most of their camping trip. The events of their family outing are realistically uneventful, so thank goodness Charlie is there to make it all more exciting through his imaginative spin on things. Graphite illustrations, digitally rendered, show the closeness of these two mixed-race (brown-skinned/white) siblings, as well as their very different reactions to the same things. ©2021 Cooperative Children’s Book Center
