Camping books is an amazing way to prepare toddler for a camping trip. Not only do your toddler learn a lot about what to expect when camping. Toddler books about camping can also help make a trip more okay, since familiar figures are camping.

Before we go camping we like to prepare our 4 kids through play and reading. There are different skills that are great to have when you go family camping, like lighting the fire, or preparing food. All of that looks different than it will in the comforts of home. Here are 10 of my favorite toddler books about camping.
