Louie and Ralphie discover that camping is not easy -- especially
since Scoutmaster Grandpa Ratso doesn't think they should ask for help
-- in the latest adventure in the Infamous Ratsos series.
Ralphie and Louie Ratso and the rest of the Big City Scouts are leaving
the city to go camping for the first time. And they have a special
guide: Grandpa Ratso! He was Scoutmaster when Ralphie and Louie's dad,
Big Lou, was a kid. Grandpa teaches everyone the Scouts motto he still
remembers, which says that Big City Scouts are always able to solve
problems without asking for help. But the Scouts soon find that figuring
out how to pitch a tent, make a fire, and find their way through the
woods is tough to do by themselves. In fact, not asking for help isn't
working at all! Luckily for the Scouts, someone unexpected comes along
to set them all straight about what the motto really says: Scouts have
the courage to ask for help and work together. Kara LaReau and Matt
Myers team up again to combine witty text and humorous illustrations for
the fourth book in the Infamous Ratsos series.
