Customer Reviews

More great short stories!

Just like the first book, these stories keep you smiling! You simply have to enjoy being able to read a short story that makes your laugh AND then be able to share it with your friends and family. That is what Jim Burnett gives you with this book. Mr. Burnett painstakingly sets up the stories so that you see the trouble coming and that is where my grin starts to grow! A definite camp-fire read for those who want to laugh instead of jump!

A fun book

Having enjoyed Mr. Burnett's first book, I was eager to read his sequel. This book was also fun to read. A good vacation book that as each chapter is short and can stand alone. It's hard to believe that people come to our National Parks so ill-prepared. It taught me a lot of what not to do! This is a book that is great for the whole family - I shared it with my 85 year old mother and she is still laughing.

Entertaining and informative

This sequel to the author's first Hey Ranger book is a lot of fun to read, and if you pay attention to the reasons the characters in this book had a misadventure, there's some good information to be gained as well. I enjoy his folksy, conversational style and the occasional acronyms he invents to describe some of the situations in the book. The short chapters make this a good book for travel reading.

Delightful!

This book is like a fresh breathe of air. It's witty,funny and relaxing to read. I found myself laughing out loud several times. A real break from the stress of life.
