After a campsite encounter with an orphaned bear, Gina and Harold soon confront a larger challenge. A sudden landslide covers the forest trail that would lead them back to camp. Before their parents arrive to rescue them, the children endure a woodland escapade that teaches them about New England black bears. As it moves toward its satisfying conclusion, A Bear in Camp with Harold and Gina combines lessons in animal knowledge, forest lore and hiking advice, camp etiquette, and the spectacle of Nature's physical powers, all in a fast-paced, riveting sequence of events that captures readers' imaginations the same as the experiences engage and inspire Gina and Harold.
Colorful, pleasing and playful illustrations work together with crisp narrative to keep children focused on each page as Harold and Gina's exciting and inspiring adventure moves toward its satisfying conclusion.
Educational articles in the back of the book provide interesting information about landslides and especially about bears in their natural environment.
