A is for Alpine: An Alphabet Book for Little Hikers

Intended for backpacking parents who want to introduce their children to the world beyond the roads, A Is For Alpine is part alphabet book (using words and pictures of things that children might encounter hiking and camping), and part inspirational picture books. Photos taken during the authors' family trips with their own two boys feature Western mountain scenery and camping fun. The presence of the children in many of the pictures helps reinforce the idea that backpacking is an activity suited to small children.
