Being in nature is central to all of Carmela LaVigna Coyle’s many
picture books. She walks daily under a canopy of cottonwoods
because she believes there’s always something extraordinary to see
outside. Carmela lives, works, and camps (happily) in Colorado with
her family. Visit her at http://carmelacoyle.com.
Mike Gordon was brought up in the big city of Manchester, and
although he spent time camping in the cold, wet climate of northern
England, he soon learned the comforts of five-star hotels. He now
resides in dry Santa Barbara, California, where he spends his days
drawing the great outdoors but feels more at home in the malls
close to home. You can read his story at

Coyle returns with Princess, ever the precocious child with her
endless questions, this time about camping. Her questions include
'What will we do if it rains?' and 'Do princesses bike over
mountains and brooks?' Princess discovers all of the fun one can
have while camping. The story is written with minimal text, in
rhyming couplets that keep the narrative moving in a way young
children will both understand and enjoy. Gordon’s illustrations are
whimsical and cartoonlike, while background details are delightful
and engaging. Children will giggle at the princess antics
throughout. . . . Fans of this series will appreciate this
title.
