Spend a peaceful day on a lake, in a canoe, becoming one with nature, in this delightful children’s book by renowned author Gary Paulsen. Follow the canoe as it moves across the water, which is so quiet and smooth it seems to become part of the sky. Learn how different animals are prey for some and predators to others as the canoe travels across the lake, providing a window into nature. The book ends with the narrator in the canoe, taking everything in and just basking in this perfect day—this canoe day. The paintings/illustrations in this book are breathtaking—it took me back to my own memories of camping and spending those perfect, cloudless days on the lake.
