PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In one of four titles launching the Go Wild series of guidebooks for outdoor activities, readers learn how to keep themselves safe in the wild. Illustrated step-by-step directions walk readers through how to make an igloo, carve a walking stick, build a slingshot, and more. A spread devoted to foraging for food lists a handful of berries and plants that are safe for consumption, while ideas for finding water include placing plastic bags in trees, wrapping towels around one's legs to collect dew, and even obtaining water from a frog ("only in a real emergency!"). Smiling woodland animals offer quips and tips ("Always release fish that you don't need for survival"), while cartoon children demonstrate some of the techniques discussed. It's a solid introduction to some basic, but potentially crucial, wilderness safety information. Simultaneously available: Be an Adventurer, Be an Explorer, and Be a Tracker. Ages 8 12.
