WILLY WHITEFEATHER'S OUTDOOR SURVIVAL HANDBOOK FOR KIDS. By Willy Whitefeather. Tuscon, AZ: Harbinger House (P.O. Box 42948, 85733-2948), 1990. Paperbound. 96 Pp. ISBN Number 0-943173-47-7. $9.95 This survival book for kids, offers a different approach on things-to-do- when-lost.  Written in a large “handwritten” script and saturated with cartoon-like drawings illustrating the different concepts the “Outdoor Survival Handbook for Kids” offers the young reader advice on everything from planning what to take on a trip to the outdoors, to how to “go potty in the woods”, to what to do in an emergency. Even I was able to pick up a couple of desert-survival tips such as bathing in the water from your car radiator and otherwise unpalatable water to cool off in a life-threatening situation. Although a couple of the concepts, such as how to make a friction fire using nothing but your shoelace and items scavenged from the woods, were a little too advanced to be taught in this format, the book offers the young reader alternatives to giving up. It will be on my gift-giving list this year! Anita Cheek Moon, Member Reviewers’ Consortium
