Books with author Robert Penn Warren

These are 25 true outdoor adventure stories told by the author in the voices of kids in his family who experienced them over five generations. They combine daring, self-reliance, wonderment, humor, excitement and even terror. More importantly, they reflect the presence of adult mentors who demonstrated family values and connected urban kids to the natural world. The Black Mouse will immerse you and your kids into a wholesome real world outdoors. Surprises, scares, laughter and tears await you in these true tales by kids and will draw you outside to enjoy the gifts of nature yourselves.
