2003, Chronicle Books, San Francisco
28 pgs.
Goodreads rating: 4.36 - 1055 ratings
My rating: 5!!!!
1st line/s:
Mr. Magee and
his little dog, Dee,
Packed up the camper and hitched up the load.
Hopped in the
Rambler and then hit the road.
They drove to the mountains, far from the sea,
For two
nights of camping (or possibly three).”
My comments: Perhaps I love this VanDusen as much as Circus Ship
(which has been my all-time favorite for the past couple of years). Great, funny story, rhyming BRILLIANTLY, with
just the coolest illustrations ever. SO
Maine! I couldn’t love a picture book
more! Full of adventure and humor, a
bear, trying to get at the yummy marshmallows, disconnects the camping trailer from
the car and down the hill the camper
plunders…into the river and towards a waterfall!
Goodreads: Mr. Magee and his trusty dog, Dee, are enjoying a peaceful camping trip when all of a sudden they find themselves plunging down a mountain and teetering on the edge of a huge waterfall! How will they find their way out of this slippery situation? Chris Van Dusen, the creator of Down to the Sea with Mr. Magee, has filled this new adventure with charming illustrations and a playful, rhyming text. A fun read-aloud for children (and adults!) on campouts or snuggling at home!
