A beautiful gift idea for any orienteer!

As Christmas and the holiday season draw near the O-Store would like to help you by featuring some of our favourite holiday gift ideas.  Stephen Stagg is a new children's storybook by Betsy Giese that we highly recommend.

This wonderful book is full of coloured pictures, rhymes, riddles and puzzles and the story of Stephen Stagg, the orienteering deer, who is puzzling his way thorugh an orienteering course.  Read the book, study the drawings and then try solving the many puzzles at the end of the book.

What a great way to draw youngsters into the orietneering world!
