The Kids' Outdoor Adventure Book is a jam-packed, fun-filled delight. This book is for anyone who ever wanted to tap a maple tree, conquer a corn maze, make an ice sculpture or go owling--or better yet, do all those things and hundreds more with their families.

With this book as inspiration, all you need to do is open the door and go. -Susan Sachs Lipman, author of Fed Up with Frenzy: Slow Parenting in a Fast-Moving World , and Social Media Director for the Children & Nature Network<br>
