Enjoy this summer-time book that explores the beautiful sights and sounds experienced during a canoe trip on the lake. Descriptive language combined with superb illustrations will make youngsters want to get out in their own canoe and feel the wonders of nature on their own.

Each page is bordered with a bright colour that complements the paintings of the animals and the landscape of the lake. Young readers will recognize the fish and various animals that the canoeist observes while learning new words that describe their movements and actions.

Known more for his novels for juvenile readers, Paulsen has gone off in a different direction with this refreshing literary offering.
