Wilber will always be welcome in my child's library!
Once again, we are transported to the world of Wilber the dog and his boy Oliver, by the playful and imaginative illustrations and writing of Collette Dahl Lorentzen. Although this installation is less dramatic than the first, it's no less delightful. As Oliver takes Wilber camping, we are treated to the colorful and fun illustrations of Wilber taking part in camping activities such as hiking, fishing, and even roasting marshmallows. But what’s more impressive than the incredibly cute drawings and a story of a dog and his boy having some good clean fun out in nature (and without the use of any phones or iPads or screens, I might add!) is the seamless integration of personal accountability and social responsibility. We see Oliver tell Wilbur about how we are responsible for our own actions, and also that our actions can affect others. This book teaches great lessons to our little ones, but perhaps should be required reading for today’s politicians as well! It’s not often you can find a book so wholesome, with important lessons that you might not even notice are being taught because you’re having so much fun reading them. Wilber has done it again; and I, personally, can’t wait to see what other adventures are in store for him in the future.

Wilber is fun!
I have purchased both Wilber books for my nieces and nephews and they love them. The illustrations are beautiful and the story line is very appealing to children and keeps their interest. Thank you, Collette for your wonderful books and sharing your awesome talents! Luann

Nature's magic for the first time!
This book captures the delight children (and adults) experience in a first time visit to a National Park as Wilber, the dog, and his very independent boy, Oliver, prepare for, experience and return from a week long camping trip. With it's charming illustrations, it is a book that connects on multiple levels about the love of nature, how to observe and preserve it and warmth of relationships with good friends. I've given copies of this and the first Wilber book to my grandchildren and their cousins -- all of whom enjoy them greatly.

Lessons on respecting our environment
This is the second Wilber book that I have gotten for my grandchildren. The lesson about respecting and appreciating the outdoors, mountains and wildlife is very special. Hopefully this lesson is also for the adults reading the book. A special gift for any families preparing for a trip with little ones to teach in advance about their responsibility in protecting our environment.

Educational and fun!
This is my second Wilber book and it didn't disappoint. I love that it teaches to follow the rules, an important lesson in life, all while having fun! Again, the illustrations and Wilber himself are adorable. I would recommend this book, especially if camping or visiting a state park is in your child's future.
