Review: One of my all time favourites - Very beautifully written and illustrated. It is very engaging and informative about geography, culture, nature (seasons, wildlife etc) and piques the curiosity of the reader / listener. When you read it in installments like I did, there is always anticipation that builds up and holds the interest of the children about what is going to happen next. I was introduced to this book by my trainer during my primary educator training. It is one of my favourite things to gift young children. Review: A well written, beautifully illustrated adventure! - 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. ## Features - Paddle to the Sea ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #21,979 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #21 in Children's Boats & Ships Books (Books) #539 in Children's Classics #903 in Children's Action & Adventure Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,177 Reviews | ## Images ![Paddle-to-the-Sea: A Classic Adventure About a Carved Canoe’s Journey Through the Great Lakes (Sandpiper Books) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71S24G3s+1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of my all time favourites *by N***N on February 21, 2026* Very beautifully written and illustrated.
