Kids Cascade Hiker Raichel Giecek, Reggie Giecek, Rudy Giecek

One of the best parts of this children's book is the art! My daughters loved the cute pictures on each page.
Reggie is five and she had fun guessing the rhymes as we read through the ABC's. Raichel is nine and was able to read through the boo with no issue.
If you know a kid who loves to hike, camp or backpack this would be perfect for them.
