In the Red Canoe

Reviews

“The two make lasting memories in this quietly satisfying portrayal of a day spent together on the lake.” “Quiet, reflective, and steadily paced, this reads aloud well. The rhymes are smooth...and the rhythm steady, with a nice surprise at the end...A pleasant, peaceful reminder of the wonders that can be found in the natural world, just right for bedtime.” “A warm story of intergenerational companionship and nature's everyday delights.” “This would be a perfect story to read before bedtime or a quiet time with its rhythmic, soothing language…The illustration and description made me feel as if I was there with them in the canoe. This story clearly depicts Canadian lake life and would be an excellent addition to a school library and for a read-aloud.” “This book is perfect for sharing with young children during the late afternoon or evening when the weather is ripe for canoeing.” “A girl and her grandfather greet the magic of nature in the bow of their canoe in this delicate and elegant tale...Bifano's full-bleed gouache illustrations are vivid but also mirror the gentleness of the text with soft colors and flowing lines...A beautiful introduction to nature that will succeed in storytimes and one-on-one readings alike.” “Told in gentle rhyming text, this is a loving account…of a serene canoe trip.” Expand reviews
