To Sadie a family camping trip requires the basic supplies: patent leather shoes, sparkly suitcase, ruffled pants, tutu, satin cape, etc. All that finery doesn't stop her from climbing, exploring, swimming, hunting for Big Foot, and having a great time. The feisty rhyming text and spirited mixed-media illustrations feature a girly-girl who's not afraid to get her white gloves dirty.
