Illustrated by
Jared Chapman.
Outdoor enthusiast Mouse convinces her anxious pal Monster to go camping with her, and Mouse's eagerness and her promise of "lots of yummy food" help calm Monster's nerves. Mouse takes care of the planning and packing so they won't forget anything. But as it turns out, she forgets...the food. The story's humor relies on the interplay of the understated text and the digital cartoon art.
