Review: This book I thought was interesting and I think my kids would think so too. It has true stories of when people had to survive in the shelter they made which I think gives the book complete perspective. This book really is a good skill to know and simple knowledge that could be helpful in some situations. I like the fact that it really breaks it down into section and steps of what structure to build depending on where you are and then also step by step how to build the structure. I’m also someone who is fond of the outdoors which is why this was such a fascinating book.

Summary: This book was about how you could build a structure to live in when you are stranded in the woods. This book really has good examples of what some situations people have been in and what they have done to survive. It also talks about emergency homes, natural shelters, where you should put that shelter and the basics of building it. The book talks about making shelter in all different kind of weather conditions and then at the end test your survival ability. ( )

This book is an informational book that has information about different types of shelters: emergency homes, natural shelters, choosing a site, building basics, forest huts, jungle shelters, snow caves and graves, making an igloo, desert shelters, prairie homes, stone, sod, and log huts, and taking a tent.
This book is a good example of an informational book because it provides information about specific types of shelters and includes various facts about those shelters.

Summary: this book describes all the different ways someone could make a shelter to survive in all different types of areas/wilderness.

Use: Outdoor survival project. When reading the famous book "Hatchet" I could use a portion of this book to describe what types of shelters that could have been made in the story. I could also use this book to help explain why different cultures/places in the world use various materials to build their homes.
Critique: Great book for students who aren't as interested in reading for literary purposes but are into being very active. I could see this book being a great way to get male student sin particular more excited about doing a project or reading in general! It was also accurate and useful information that could be applied and good to know for anyone who spends a good amount of time in any type of wilderness. ( )
