William Wegman channels his love of nature in an outdoor adventure for campers of all ages
Flo thinks the family’s last vacation together was just grand. Her little brother, Wendell, thinks it was absolutely terrible. So, being the good big sister that she can sometimes be, Flo has agreed to take Wendell on his very own camping adventure. They’re going to go canoeing, fishing, and hiking—well, as best they can in the comfort of their neighborhood.
In this follow-up to Flo & Wendell, Wegman’s celebrated return to children’s books, he again combines his signature Weimaraner photography with whimsical paintings. The result is a satisfying and kid-friendly picture book that will remind readers that camping is always an adventure—even when it’s close to home.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The Weimeraner siblings from 2013's Flo & Wendell embark on a close-to-home camping trip, with Wegman again using photographs for the dogs' heads and loosely painting their bodies and clothing in gouache. Nowhere does the dogs' personalities shine more than in the planning stage: Flo's long packing list includes a tent, poles, a sleeping bag, and a flashlight, while Wendell's is just a picture of the tiny hatchet he's eager to use. Wegman's understated narration provides lots of dry humor as the dogs test their canoeing skills, survive a "bear" encounter, and end their adventure the best way possible, toasting marshmallows: "Wendell liked his incinerated." Ages 3 5.
