Hike

This book with its beautiful illustrations....As a wordless book.... the book speaks a Thousand things through its images.... it feels like you were on the hike with the father and son duo.Ending the story is bittersweet..as the lovely , slow journey is at the end...You feel the nostalgia when you see the photos in the Album.. Generations of Nathre Lovers...This book is good for the Adults as well as the Kids.

This book is awesome! Beautiful art, simple story with few actual words allows kids to fill in the blanks with their own words and imagination. My niece tells the story in 2 languages and loves elaborating on all the pictures and characters.

Nature relaxes, challenges, teaches, comforts, de-stresses. This is one of those marvelous, wordless books that has a value that goes far beyond the dollar. First, it's a book that kids can read to their parents and teachers. It's highly interactive because it lets you and your kids invent the narrative. Second, the pictures contain surprises throughout. When the youngster is just a little nervous about the upcoming mountain climb, we have no doubt whatsoever what's in his mind; the artist is quite accurate. We can see what the boy puts in his backpack and agree or disagree with his selections. We can laugh at his mischievous cat. We can see the wild animals quietly spying on the boy and his dad in the woods. The author is one of those illustrators who lives what he sees. Third, we can feel this experience. I could feel the rush of the waterfall and when the calm of the forest slowly started to take over as the duo got deeper into the woods. I suspect your kids will want to touch the pages. Fourth, it's full of kid-friendly surprises. Anyone who hikes knows that each experience will be different. The boy finds a feather, he examines a ladybug, he carefully crosses a log over the water. We see the majesty of the mountains. In summary, while it's not always possible to get out into the countryside or forests for walks, this book will certainly whet your appetite. And if you have a child who sometimes needs help relaxing or de-stressing, this is not the actual outdoors but it's the next best thing. And it will give you ideas, maybe, for some local parks.

Fan de Pete Oswald. Este libro es encantador, tanto para los adultos como para los niños. Lo recomiendo ampliamente

Wordless books are so powerful for non and early readers. It helps them learn the parts of a book and how powerful context clues can be for a story. They can make up the story and words in their mind. This book is beautiful and tells an incredible story of a father and son with very few words. Definitely a must add to a home or school library.

Beautifully illustrated. A great book especially for father/son discussion.
