I Don't Want to Go to Camp

Lin's mom has exciting news. She's going to camp--a camp for mothers only. But Lin is not impressed. She and her favorite stuffy, Loppy Lamb, have made up their minds. They are never, ever going to camp. Later, when Lin and her dad visit Mom on visitors day, Lin discovers that camp is more than a place where you get homesick. Camp is volleyball, canoe races, midnight feasts, and lots of other ways of having fun. Lin wonders if camp isn't so bad after all. Eve Bunting's endearing text and Maryann Cocca-Leffler's bright and breezy illustrations are perfectly matched in this happy picture book about an imaginative girl who's afraid to stay away from home.
