Cousins

When four cousins meet at their grandma and grandpa's house for a couple of weeks in the country, the highlight of their stay comes when they decide to go camping in the woods. Bags packed, they set off. But what should they come up against in the middle of the night, when all is dark, but a great big bear What do you think you would do?

Cousins, by children's author Mary Ellen Brown Carlson, recounts the story of these adventuresome boys and what awaits them in the woods behind their grandparent's home. Charmingly illustrated by Wes Bossman, Cousins evokes all those fond memories we all share of monsters under the bed and big, hairy things waiting to jump out at us in the dark.
