BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

This book is a very visual experience. There are lots of photographs and illustrations, even some reflective pages to use as a signal and a page that turns into a cup. It is divided up into different sections for different survival experiences, such as shelters, fire, plant life, weather and so forth. 

This book has the feel of a retro boy scout book manual but with increased readability. The information is so well-parceled in this book that I can picture a wide range of reading abilities enjoying and engaging with this text.
