As Scout walks 800 miles from Mexico to Utah with his father, across the deserts, mountains, and canyons of Arizona, he meets the most interesting of animals. Read how Scout helps his new friends out of tough situations, and keeps the wild places wild.

Wonderful illustrations, engaging text, and subtle lessons entertain readers along their own adventure of building a personal set of outdoor ethics.

The seven short stories in this book are simply fun to read, but the accompanying Things To Think About help readers consider how humans impact the natural world. These stories provide a starting place for parents, teachers, camp staff, and other youth mentors to engage children in a discussion of environmental stewardship.
