Opening this book is like sitting down in a canoe, taking up a paddle, and
gliding out into the summer beauty of a hidden lake. In this picture book that
is as refreshing and inviting as a perfect canoe day, a fawn peeks out from the
trees as ducklings fan out behind their mother. Butterflies pause and fish laze
beneath the lily pads. Ruth Wright Paulsen's sunlit paintings and Gary
Paulsen's poetic text capture all the peace and pleasure of a day when water
and sky are one.
