This wonderful cross-generational children's picture book encourages city kids to experience the great outdoors. The walking stick is an enticing prop that legitimates hiking as a special activity for children. The story shows that exploring nature is especially fun with a walking stick and someone knowledgeable to act as your guide, someone like Mr. Daniel Stockton in the story. This book would make a nice gift for a grandchild, niece, nephew, or friend's child aged 4-8. It recently won the 2006 Giverny Award for "best children's science picture book."
