Canoe Days
by Gary Paulsen Ruth Wright PaulsenOpening this book is like sitting down in a canoe, taking up a paddle, and gliding out into the summer beauty of a hidden lake.

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.
