Description

Opening this book is like sitting down in a canoe, taking up a paddle, and gliding out into the summer beauty of a hidden lake. In this picture book that is as refreshing and inviting as a perfect canoe day, a fawn peeks out from the trees as ducklings fan out behind their mother. Butterflies pause and fish laze beneath the lily pads. Ruth Wright Paulsen’s sunlit paintings and Gary Paulsen’s poetic text capture all the peace and pleasure of a day when water and sky are one.

  • First picture book by Gary Paulsen I have seen.
I think that Gary Paulsen is an outstanding author and this book does not fall short. The pictures are also marvelous. It will always be among the books I turn to that helps my students visualize what the author is saying. Thanks!!

  • Nature's peaceful beauty
Peaceful, beautifully illustrated book. The words themselves capture the imagination. This is one of my 4y.o. Grandson's favorite books. My 9y.o. granddaughter thoroughly enjoys as well. It paints a captivating picture of nature and pulls you right into the canoe with the man.

  • Teaching Figurative Language
Great book for similes and metaphors. Has a good flow as well. Having students hold up cards to I'D each silently as I read to check comprehension.

  • A Writing Teacher's Best Friend
A true mentor text for personal narrative writing by husband-wife dream team Gary Paulsen and Ruth Wright Paulsen. We will return to this text over and over again as we search for just the right word. Strong use of author's craft on every.single.page.
