The Night Before Summer Camp
by Natasha Wing; illustrated by Mindy Pierce

The first day of summer camp is almost here, and one little camper doesn’t know what to expect. For a while everything is hunkydory... until rest time rolls around and he gets a bad case of nervous butterflies. But an unlikely friend appears out of the crowd and reassures him that the best cure for the summertime blues is tons of summertime fun! A sweetly reassuring story, once again told in verse to the meter of Clement Moore’s classic.

We love the Night Before series! Kids get a kick out of the rhythmic text and fun illustrations, and the plots are clever and funny.  The books in the series are based on holidays and other special days at school, and by the end of the year, our students are looking forward to a Night Before book on each new special day!  At left are the covers for all the series books, and can see them all by clicking on the link above.
