Seattle Backpackers Magazine gives ‘Hikes: Games’ thumbs up

My book Hikes with Tykes: Games and Activities received a positive review Monday at Seattle Backpackers Magazine. “This great little guide contains enough ideas to engage even the most stoic, couch-loving tween,” wrote Erika Klimecky, editor of SBM and a book about her trek through Nepal. “All in all, Hikes with Tykes: Games and Activities is a great resource for parents who need a little (or a lot) of help encouraging their kids on the trail.” Hikes with Tykes: Games and Activities can be purchased online or at independent bookstores in Minneapolis and the Wisconsin communities of Eau Claire, Menomonie and Hudson.

Meet the Author

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.
