Maris Wicks.
A casually pleasant rhyming text narrates a family's day hike in the woods, from the chaotic early-morning start with four kids and a dog to an exhausted but happy return home. The adventure is illustrated with appropriately busy art including many humorous asides, such as a parent-child argument over hiking boots versus pink shoes and the resultant sullen teen in the pre-hike snapshot.
