A great book for children.
My son is hooked! 2006-09-09
Although we have not finished this book, my son is hooked. He didnt' want me to stop reading after the first chapter. It's a great book for homeschooling, the reason we are using it, and the chapters are quick and easy to get through. Very nice art work too.
Paddle to the Sea 2006-08-03
This is a lovely living book! The pictures are beautiful and the story is captivating. Told in single page chapters, Paddle journeys through the Great Lakes From Nipigon to the Ocean. My children and I are learnng all about the natural habitats and human industries as well as weather and people and little Paddle makes his way. Delightful, intriguing and wonderfully informative.
A Childhood Memory 2008-07-17
I read this book 60 years ago as a young boy of 10. It made a tremendous impression on me with regards to the geography of the Great Lakes of the US and Canada. I was thrilled to find that it is still being printed and the pictures are the same as I remember--excellent. A wonderful story.
One of my all time favorites - a true classic 2008-06-12
As others here have said, this is a true keeper. A babysitter read it to me when I was 10, and I never forgot it. I bought and read it to my kids when they were around that age, and they wouldn't let me put them to sleep without reading at least one chapter. It's educational, beautifully illustrated, and a touching story. I may have to fight with my kids over who gets to read it first to their kids! A treasure.
A great book for young and old 2007-09-26
Wonderful illustrations and a book that will not bore an adult. Great learning tool for young readers.
This book was recommended to me on a recent sailing trip thru the Great Lakes. I bought it for my hometown library as it was a wonderful geography lesson. Truely a dateless book and a lovely present for a child or library.
Paddle to the Sea 2007-03-31
I LOVE all of Holling Clancy Holling's books, but I have to admit that Paddle to the Sea is my favorite. The story of a little boy who carved a little man in a wooden canoe, and the adventures encounterd by the little man just captured my imagination. I never knew the Great Lakes until after feeling as though I had been there with Paddle to the Sea. H.C. Holling books are works of art packed with wonderful facts from science and geography. Any teacher's dream curriculum because you'll have the children enrapt attention! My sons love them as much as I do, and even now, they remember reading them as great memories.
A compelling tale that's truly educational 2007-01-09
I read Paddle-to-the-Sea as a child (I was born in 1942), and its story, illustrations and maps have left lasting impresssions on me. It blends social studies, geography, 20th Century American history and wonderful artwork into a gentle, loving tale. It ought to be required reading for all American youths.
