The heading in our book is “Two Camps.” A picture has the caption “Camping Close to Home.”

In the first story, Aya camps in her backyard with Dad. Her tent is on the grass. She hears a frog. Her bed feels chilly. Dad brings a quilt. Aya pulls it up to her chin. “Now I am warm!” she says.

In the next story, Benji camps inside his apartment with Dad. His tent is on the rug. He hears a bus. His bed feels hard. Dad brings a cushion. Benji puts it under his back. “Now I am snug!” he says.

Both children smile and close their eyes. A camp can be fun in either place.
