Three pairs of rhyming one-syllable words on each double-page spread highlight the ups and downs of life at summer camp (eg. "Damp camp / Green screen / Hot cot"). Catalanotto illustrates each pair with separate paintings, layered one on top of another like a stack of postcards or like windows on a web site. This technique gives viewers a sense of zeroing in on the small details suggested by the rhymes. Together the text and pictures create an effective picture of a typical fast- paced, regimented day in a young camper's life. (Ages 6-9)

Two girls find and befriend each other at summer camp. The story is told in 54 words and 27 pairs of rhymes. There is not a sentence in the telling, yet a sly sense is conveyed of camp activities such as swimming, crafts, nature treks, tent raising, and a campfire gather sleeping out.
