About this title: A young Indian boy in Canada carves a little canoe with a figure inside and sets him on the snow just north of Lake Superior. When the snow melts the canoe, named Paddle-to-the-Sea, is off on a long trip through each of the Great Lakes, down the St. Lawrence River and into the Atlantic Ocean. This book chronicles its remarkable journey in words and lush pictures, and the reader learns a great deal about the life, industry, and people of the region. This book has made geography vivid for young readers since 1941.

"Wonderful story. Well written. My 7 year old son, who usually won't sit still that well for chapter books, thoroughly enjoyed it! It's a great family reading book."
"Pictures are awesome, for my kids of course. Also, good vocabulary. Embarrassingly, I kept wanting to cry at the end. Why? Can't say. The epic glory of it all I suppose."
"This is one of my favorite children's books. I remember my dad reading it to me, and following the story of the little canoe through the Great Lakes and out to the sea. Here I learned the shapes of the lakes, and of all the people, animals and industry along their shores on Paddle's adventure... Beautifully illustrated."
"This is a wonderful children's tale of a wooden Indian in a canoe named "Paddle-to-the Sea". Carved by a young Indian boy, the lad intends for Paddle to have many adventures along his journey to the sea from a stream in Nipigon country through the Great Lakes. This is a must-read-to your-children-on-your-lap book."
