How to Go Hiking

Illustrated by Lee Wildish
Let's take a hike! Enjoy the view in this Step 2 early reader from the New York Times-bestselling creators of How to Babysit a Grandpa.

New hiking boots call for a hiking adventure! Pack your backpack with snacks, water, and a map, and join an uncle and his nephew as they head out for their trip, but this time, the kids lead the way!
 
This Step Into Reading story embraces the highs and lows of a hike in the woods--from spying lizards, to getting a blister--and of coming home again.

Step 2 readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories. They are perfect for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help.
