Go Explore Nature give 'Hikes' good review

Hikes with Tykes received a favorable review today at the website Go Explore Nature. Website author Debi Haung, a Los Angeles-based wife, mom and adventure guide for two young boys, wrote, “Author Rob Bignell is an avid hiker who’s been taking his young son on day hikes for nearly five years. In that time, he’s acquired a ton of wisdom on the topic. … Hikes with Tykes is easy to read and packed with lots of helpful tips and checklists.” Hoag’s website focuses on connecting kids with nature and includes sections on backyard nature fun, adventuring tips, product reviews and links to many other resources.

My name is Rob Bignell. I'm a long-time hiker, journalist and editor. My son Kieran and I have been hiking together for the past decade. Before Kieran, I taught middle school students in New Mexico and Wisconsin, served as an infantryman in the Army National Guard, and worked in newspapers. I've won several journalism awards, from editorial writing to sports reporting. In 2001, The Prescott Journal, which I served as managing editor of, was named Wisconsin’s Weekly Newspaper of the Year. Currently I own and operate an online editing business, Inventing Reality Editing Service. After spending several years in Southern California, my son and I now live in Wisconsin on the scenic Red Cedar River.
