Mrs. Potter takes Simon camping to look for birds, but even though he brings along his magic acorn the trip does not turn out the way he expected. Is it really the magic acorn that helps Simon see birds and animals? Simon thinks so, and when his friend Mrs. Potter takes him camping, he's intent on finding more acorns. But by the end of the trip, Simon will have something else to hold on to -- the memory of a larger-than-life encounter with nature he'll never forget. Young readers who helped solve the mystery of Maggie Stern's The Missing Sunflowers will welcome the return of Simon and his neighbor Mrs. Potter as they continue to discover the beauty of the natural world.
