Survival Skills for Kids: How to Perform First Aid, Build Shelter, Start a Fire, Find Water, Handle Emergencies, Predict the Weather, and Master the Wilderness! Paperback – September 25, 2023

I purchased this for my nine year old grandson. He’s a Cub Scout and goes camping a lot both with the Scouts and family. He loves it.

I really like this book. I'm a mother whom likes to teach stuff to my kids, and I love anything outdoors. I'm not fully through the book, but it is written very well for children ages 8+. I have found a few spelling errors, but I don't think kids will care too much.This is just a really well written comprehensive guide. I think adults with not much survival training should read this book too. I've read so many survival books that just make you exhausted after a chapter, but this book kept me well engaged. I know my boys will love it!

There are valuable skills included in this book, however also several very common sense ones as well. This book is geared towards the older “kids”, as it is too much for my 4 year old.

Mi esposo es experto en acampar y deseaba enseñarle a nuestros niños hacerlo tambien , este lindo fue facil de leer y entender

Great quality and information, but still fun for kids to learn the essential survival information. Was exactly as described and my son was excited to learn.

I don't really know much about survival. In fact, when people bring it up, I often don't understand what specifically is being talked about because survival in general sounds like a vague term to me. Like what specifically are you trying to survive?This book dives into surviving out in the wilderness in general. It gives a lot of cool tips that could be life saving. It cover a wide range of content from...+ getting water+ proper attire to wear+ how to build your own shelter+ gathering foodand so much more.My favorite segments were the different shelters you can build and how to make traps for feed. It even included how to build a shelter in a snowy with a nice illustration to help visualize what you need to do.I recommend it. Great little book. Easy read.

The text is aligned well with a large legible font. Book spine is solid, I'm not worried about the pages falling out with a lot of use. Depending on the age of the child you would probably want to read parts of the book with them and then guide the child through an exercise of the part you just read. The information itself is basic and provides a solid foundational knowledge for a child to build upon.
