Summary: If you camp next to a grocery store - this book's for you!
Review: The book COOKING ON A STICK is an intriguing title and may hint at being a simple book - but it's not. The recipes call for a can of non-stick cooking spray along with perishable foods such as hotdogs, fruit, eggs, etc. The recipe ideas are only suitable if one is camping next to a grocery store! There is even a recipe which suggests you let your child make a necklace out of dried fruit and cereal and that the child wear it around their neck for snack food. If you're trying to attract a bear this might be a great idea. I would not recommend this book for anything but the backyard camper. It is also not written at a level that your kids can read the recipes themselves, although the pictures suggest it is a children's book.

Summary: A Great book for backpacks
Review: This book is well written and beautifully illustrated.

It expands the basic recipe file of backpacking campers to include many delicious meals.

This is a great resource for those who are just beginning their camping experiences, especially scout leaders who need to teach their young scouts how to cook over an open flame.

Summary: just right
Review: This is a fun book for kids, and has a lot of common sense easy recipes they can follow. It starts off by teaching the basics of building a campfire, especially the safety involved, and putting out the fire. It has sections on cooking on a grill, cooking in a pouch, and on a stick. If you havne't doen these it is hard to describe, since they do not mean an animal on a spit here. This is good for cub scouts or other youth groups to teach basic cooking skills to kids in the woods.
