(4) K-3 Illustrated by Magenta Fox. Maud, an indoor-loving guinea pig, secretly accompanies a young mixed-race girl named Kit on her first camping trip. As Maud ventures into the forest with a quirky hedgehog named Harvey, she learns about survival, friendship, and the unexpected joys of nature. The muted, cartoony illustrations complement the playful spirit of the overlong story. This is a lighthearted exploration of and facing fears and embracing the unknown.
