In this playful family adventure, Rick and Jan’s family drive to their mountain cabin to go biking and swimming. Crisp, bright illustrations with sparkling blue water, lush green forests, and glowing fish and ducks create an enchanting experience for early readers, including underwater scenes. One and two-syllable words and lighthearted dialogue motivate early readers to explore their reading skills and reinforce having fun with their parents.

Lush woodland scenes with beautiful birds, colorful wildlife, and sparkling blue water animate this advanced early reader. Rick and Jan return for a new adventure in the mountains. When they need to decide whether to ride down a big hill and over a big bump, children learn that it’s okay to do something different from their friends. Rick chooses one route and Jan another. Splashing their bikes through a large mud puddle is fun, but the responsible children stop to clean their bikes before going swimming and fishing in the cool mountain water. After Jan catches a large, shiny fish, and the siblings pick fresh red apples and brown nuts, they take the feast home for supper.
