Canoe Days

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ruth Wright Paulsen. This poetic text is as quiet as the "perfect day" chronicled here. The narrator paddles his canoe on a lake and observes the wildlife around him. There is more description than a real story, but like the lake, the text reflects the natural surroundings. The paintings, though occasionally muddy, echo the text's soft touch, evoking the simple beauty of nature.
