Postcards from Camp
by Simms Taback

A Kids Wings Top Flight Book for 2012-2013
A Texas Bluebonnet Award NomineeSM

Have you ever gone to summer camp, far away from your home? Do you remember how you felt when you left your parents for the first time? Did you have second thoughts about going? When you arrived and saw no familiar faces, were you homesick? Did you decide to go back home? Did you write sad, shocking letters home to beg for help? And just when you convinced your parents that you were truly miserable, did you change your mind?

Michael had been to day camps but never to a sleepaway camp for two weeks. You can find out all about his camping adventure through the letters between Michael and his dad. Both have out-of-the-box imaginations and writing skills, and both will inspire you to go to summer camp next summer! Their book is filled with pictures, advice, folded letters in little envelopes, post cards (front and back) and even a little illustrated ghost story tucked into its own envelope. You'll love meeting the campers, reading about their pranks, laughing at their art, and starting to design your own creative letters!

Postcards from Camp by Simms Taback will add some laughter to your school or classroom library, and the Kids Wings activities will increase its learning potential and fun!
