Comments

Brian Austin: This is a book I remember reading as a child, again as a young adult, repeatedly with our children when they were small – and now as a Grandpa with my own store, something I treasure and want to see in the personal library of every family. Almost too lengthy for the genre in which it seems it should fit, it in fact creates a genre all its own. The wealth of research behind it is priceless. The artistry is astonishing. The geography it explores gives SO MUCH INSIGHT into the water-shed of the Great Lakes with the competing influences of water currents, wind, logging and sawmills.

The book is a treasure, and for Homeschool Families especially, offers so much educational value in a delightful way. It is one of those timeless books where the illustrations and the text together tell a story that hundreds of hours of in-depth research could not duplicate. It is exceptionally rare for a book to teach so much, but also to be fun to view and to read. Five stars is not adequate. Published in 1941 – older by quite a bit even than this old Grandpa, it is still a treasure.

Amazon Customer: Borrowed this book from the library, twice I think, about 70 years ago. Enjoyed it then & even more now.

Janet E. Fotos: Book was in great condition and arrived quickly. If you are not familiar with Paddle, the illustrations are lovely and the story is rich in details about the great lakes and the surrounding flora and fauna, and includes some details about humans too. It was a treasured book in my childhood and I am delighted to have it again.

J. Ronaghan: I was given this same story when I was a very young child. I was pleased to see that the illustrations are exactly the same . This book was "made in China" so is not as good quality as mine was many years ago, but the story is the same. It can give a child some geographic lesson of Eastern Canada.

Mary Stearns: A very engaging account of a young Canadian who carves a foot long canoe with his Paddle Person, adds ballast and rudder to it, and sets it in the snow on a hill above the river between Lake Nipigon and the northern 'point' of Lake Superior with a carved message on its bottom, "PLEASE PUT ME BACK IN THE WATER--I AM PADDLE TO THE SEA, where it slides into the river with the melting snow and into Lake Superior.
Holling Clancy Holling crafts a delightful tale of Paddle-to-the-Sea's four-year-long journey which ended at sea with a French fishing boat, father and son. Heart-felt waterway and geographical descriptions and accounts of people along the way. Copyrighted in 1941 and renewed in 1969. It thrilled the heart of this Michigan girl.
