This book illustrates the most natural way to teach geography to children. It is an older book and there is a reason it is still around. It's "flowing" story begins from one boy's curiosity about where the water in streams go. After hearing the explanation of how rivers from his area flow into the Great Lakes and eventually into the Atlantic Ocean, he crafts a small sea worthy, wooden canoe, places a miniature Native American passenger in it, and launches the canoe from a melting ice flow. The journey begins in one of the most northern streams in America. "Paddle to the Sea", the name of his canoe travels along the water's edge, where the tides and storms direct. While passing settlements and landscapes, both beautiful and serene, as well as wild and treacherous, the little canoe encounters many adventures. Children will sit on the edge of their seats as the vivid words capture their imaginations and they enjoy the lively exciting illustrations. "Paddle to the Sea" is an 'accessible' taste of the past, and a little flavor of what our country is like. The concepts in this book are 'accessible' to children as children learn best through pictures, whether it is through the words in the story that paint pictures, or the vivid illustrations. This book has both. "Paddle to the Sea"is a well told adventure that will capture the attention of any 8 year old child or older. Parents will enjoy sharing this book with their child as well.
I have had this book since the first edition came out. Loved the story and enjoyed the experience recently when we passed through the town on Lake Superior where the story starts. I gave my old worn copy to my son who has 4 boys about the age when my grandmother gave it to me. I bought the new one to give to my other sons oldest boy. His three children (almost 4 now) will get to read it and learn about the Great Lakes and people. It is a great story for kids with lots about the lakes and living in that era as sub surface extras. I am 82 now and the story is still good.
This is a fascinating and beautiful story about a wood carved man in a canoe traveling up the St Lawrence River and being in all kinds of situations from animals to loggers working the river and it’s surrounding streams. I was IPressed to see that the boat could travel so far and reach the ocean, even though it endured wear and tear along the way.
BEST children's book ever !!!! A vintage classic , unusual story and great adventure. I enjoyed reading to my kids years ago and I loved it !!! Sent it to my grandchildren !!!
This was my favorite book as a kid in the 1950s. A compelling and educational story with beautiful pictures. Now, I'm reading it to my three year old granddaughter. She likes it too!Unfortunately, the book also documents the decline of the Great Lakes region, particularly Detroit.
I grew up in Northern Michigan and remember reading this book as a child. It is fun to now read to my children and talk to them about all the landmarks that Paddle sees along his journey. One of my favorites and especially recommended to anyone who grew up around the Great Lakes.
I first read Paddle To The Sea when I was in the third grade (63 years ago). Paddle was published in 1941 as a story for children. The actions described are what would have been expected of people living in that innocent time between wars. The illustrations are as beautiful as I remembered.If you want to visit, or revisit, that simpler time please take the time to read this story
The book introduces young readers to the geography, history and culture of the Great Lakes region by following a wooden canoe toy on its multi-year trip from Canada through the Great Lakes, down Niagara Falls and across the Atlantic. The images are amazing and so is the writing. My two boys discovered the book (first edition) in our friend's summer cabin and liked it so much that I bought them a reprint for Christmas. The original seemed to be printed in higher quality, but the currently available hardcover version isn't bad either. Highly recommended!
