Reviews

Kirkus Reviews

“Wood’s delightful illustrations and Dillemuth’s expertise in the matter engage readers in the woodland creatures’ adventures. In addition, Dillemuth, who holds a doctorate in geography, provides activities in the backmatter for parents and caregivers to help children develop their own spatial-reasoning skills, such as sketching and reading maps or using cardinal directions. An adorable adventure in cartography.”—Kirkus Reviews

School Library Journal

“Through this engaging story, children will be shown the benefits of using and creating maps of their own. Camilla is a lovable main character. She’s smart, kind, and adventurous . . . . A fun way to get children interested in cartography, this book lends itself to many lessons inside and outside of a classroom.”—School Library Journal
