    Two new books from duopress encourage little ones to get outside and explore. My First Book of Camping and My First Book of Hiking are a great introduction to family adventure.

    Each book is made out of sturdy board and features a handle so that little ones can carry the fun around with them. The books provide a simple list of supplies, examples of places to visit and examples of what you can do along the way. Colorful and inviting illustrations bring the whole thing to life.

    These are great options for families who love getting out in nature. You can learn more about the books below.

    MY FIRST BOOK OF CAMPING, by Jeremy Puglisi, Stephanie Puglisi, Ekaterina Trukhan, duopress, May 6, 2025, Board Book, $8.99 (ages 0-4)

    Get ready for a cozy camping experience filled with gooey s’mores, fishing in a river, and the warmth of a crackling campfire. Toddlers and preschoolers will embark on a camping journey like no other. Follow along as they discover the joy of wandering in the woods, making shadow puppets, and gathering around the campfire to share spooky stories, and sleeping in a tent. With its sturdy pages and built-in handle for easy carrying, as well as vibrant illustrations, My First Book of Camping will captivate young readers at every turn. The magic of the great outdoors is brought to life in the pages, encouraging little ones to explore and embrace the wonders of nature.

    MY FIRST BOOK OF HIKING, by Jeremy Puglisi, Stephanie Puglisi, Ekaterina Trukhan, duopress, May 6, 2025, Board Book, $8.99 (ages 0-4)

    Packed with excitement and discovery, this board book with a built-in handle invites toddlers and preschoolers to discover the wonders of hiking in nature. Follow along as we lace up our sturdy hiking boots, strap on our backpacks, and set off on a trailblazing expedition. Through lush evergreen forests, majestic mountain peaks, and babbling waterfalls, young readers will delight in the beauty of the natural world. And keep an eye out for wildlife that you might encounter on the trail―a curious marmot, a graceful deer, or even a nimble mountain goat! Each page bursts with vibrant illustrations, capturing the awe-inspiring sights and sounds of the great outdoors. Also included is a recipe for delicious trail mix, perfect for keeping little hikers energized and ready for whatever surprises nature has in store. —Synopsis provided by duopress
