Little Bailey Rabbit's Mama and Papa encourage him to imagine himself camping after his older brother and sister leave for a camp-out. Watercolor pictures expand the narrative by showing what Bailey finds to do right at home. Careful pacing and judicious use of repetition mark the text. (Ages 2-5)

Bruce and Betty were going camping. Bailey had to stay home. "You're too little," said his brother. "You can go in a few years," said his sister. But Bailey didn't want to wait. And, with the help of Mama and Papa, Bailey went camping right where he was!
