PreS-gr2This book just cracks me up. The illustrations are very funny - done with just a few touches that create humor. Bascially three friends try to canoe. And there are problems, since it takes a while for them to figure out how to work together, not against each other. I loved the illustration where the beaver has an oar in his mouth and says "I'm hungry." Slapstick and a good message that doesn't overwhelm. The trim size of the book is smaller, so it is less useful for storytime. However, I still might try it since I like the story so much. I was visiting a teacher and noticed she had this book, one I recently bookmarked because of a review I’d read. It’s an amusing tale of a beaver, a moose and a bear who take off on an adventure in a red canoe. Through many mis-adventures, the three finally learn that it really is helpful to work together. I’d love to read and discuss this with a group of younger students. The illustrations are bright and simple, good to view with the sweet three animals in all their expressions of dismay, frustration, and success.
