"Are there bunk beds?
Will I have to sleep on
the top bunk?
I don't think I could get
to the top bunk or even
the bottom bunk.
Is this a bed or a tower?"
They're back! I hope you met them first in First Day Critter Jitters. It was their first day of school and each had concerns about how the day would go. They need not have worried; they had each other. In their new book, they are expressing their worries about attending summer camp. I know the feeling; I was always homesick when away from home and family.
Each has worries of its own. Skunk doesn't like scary stories. You know what happens when a skunk is frightened! Mole is concerned about sports, knowing he isn't good at them. How would a mole know the flight of an arrow while practicing archery? Rabbit hops at night, in order to tire himself out for sleep. Snake is troubled because of his reputation for surprising others ... especially in the woods. Sloth, Duck, Bear, Kangaroo, Parrot, and Mouse are equally anxious.
Their worries are valid, and threaten to make the camping experience an unhappy one. All uneasiness vanishes when they find their counselor stuck in a tree on his first day. Sammy wanted to welcome them with a banner, and got stuck in the tree he was hanging it on. What to do?
A solution is found, Sammy is able to introduce them to the many charms of camp life, and each discovers that being together might be the best thing of all!
