Imagination goes a long way when four friends play together -- even when they stay close to home -- in a fresh, enticing story for preschoolers. Gracie is packing her knapsack. She's going away into the wild, she tells Little Nye, Nella, and Lester -- and she's not sure whether her friends have what it takes to come along. Are they brave enough to climb mountains and camp outside in the dark? Can they sit very still and wait for fish to bite? Are they truly prepared to explore . . . the wild patch at the end of the backyard garden?
