      Bear, Moose and Beaver, those three friends whose adventures have been chronicled by Canadian picture-book author and artist Nicholas Oldland in four previous picture-books, return in this fifth story. As they hike to the top of the mountain one day, the animals' competitive nature gets the better of them, and they turn it into a race. When disaster strikes however, they must all work together, eventually learning that they enjoy their outing more when they are experiencing it together...Although I did enjoy Walk on the Wild Side, I'm not sure that it was quite as amusing as its predecessors, particularly Big Bear Hug, which was simply giggle-inducing in its hilarity. All of Oldland's books have a message to impart, but this one felt a little too on the nose in its didacticism, to the detriment of the story. Still, it was engaging enough, and young fans of these characters will undoubtedly enjoy another outing with them. For my part, I still intend to track down the sixth installment of the series, One Wild Christmas.

      Walk on the Wild Side is a story about a beaver, moose and bear who are great friends. They like to go on adventures together and end up hiking on a mountain. They decide to race up the mountain, but things turn from bad to worse. First moose has a problem and when bear tries to help he makes it worse. Fortunately beaver hears their cries for help and turns around and comes back. A great lesson about friendship and helping each other being worth more than winning. The artwork is simple but cute with realistic colours for the animals. You need to watch for the little red bird throughout the story. The text is clear and simple to read so it will be easily accessible to young children. Great lessons to learn told in a fun way.

      Thank you to Netgalley and Kids Can Press for providing me with a copy of this book to read and review.

      Beaver, Bear, and Moose are back in a story that encourages cooperation and a leisurely approach to life.

      Ok, I have to admit, I like the stiff legs, that's one of the funniest parts of the book! You have three friends out for a hike and to make things interesting they decide to race up a mountain. What ensues is entirely unexpected and when tragedy strikes they all pitch in to help one another.

      In the end, it's not about who gets to the top of the mountain first but the fun, cooperation and companionship they enjoyed along the way.

      Hilarious illustrations and great story line - (I loved the little pink bird who is following them along their trip!)

      I would recommend this book to all my friends with children.

      WALK ON THE WILD SIDE by Nicholas Oldland is the latest addition to the charming LIFE IN THE WILD picture book series.This ingenious, contemporary fable reminds readers about the importance of friendship, slowing down, and appreciating life. Woven throughout the story are witty remarks, funny observations, and zingers that will keep children giggling. While the story is simple and easy to follow, it contains a strong message about the importance of viewing life as a journey. The nature and hiking theme will make readers of all ages want to get outside and enjoy a good hike.Oldland’s appealing illustrations contain memorable characters that are likely to appeal to both children and adults. Of particular interest is how the author skillfully incorporates factual information about each animals such as what they eat for a snack. In addition, the bold, attractive font is perfect for the picture book format.Children will enjoy reading the book multiple times observing details like the activities of the tiny bird accompanying the threesome. The book has endless possibilities for library storytelling activities.In addition to WALK ON THE WIDE SIDE, librarians will want to purchase the other books in this outstanding series including Up the Creek, Making the Moose Out of Life, and Big Bear Hugs. Available March 1, 2015 and published by Kids Can Press Books, a NetGalley ARC was used for the review.

      Three friends get tripped up when they try to compete instead of cooperate. This is the second book I've tried in this series, but I don't think I'll bother with any of the rest. The characters don't have much personality, the stories are heavy handed, and the art is a bit ugly.
