One-Dog Canoe starts off one morning when a young girl takes her canoe on the water. Her dog asked “Can I come, too?” They glided on the water and ran into dissimilar creatures wanting to join in on the canoe ride. Before long too many creatures joined the young girl and her one-dog canoe. The last creature to hope into the canoe happened to be a frog on a rock. Suddenly, the creatures and the young girl splashed into the lake where they swam with laughter.
Several predictable areas throughout the children’s story book. Examples include- It’s a one-moose, one-bear, one-wolf, one-loon, one-beaver, one-dog canoe. Can I come, too?
The illustrations were illustrated with fragile colors making the story enjoyable to read with the relatable simple drawings. Great specific detail surrounding/covering the whole page.… (más)

We bought this for my in-laws to share with my niece and nephew. Of course I had to read it first!

This was a fun enough little story, with a vocabulary that will be beyond most kids' actual understanding, but it just sounds fun as a rhyme with manatee. Think inanity and urbanity. The real charm of the book is in the illustrations and the accompanying CD with the words of the book being sung by John Lithgow. Huge fun! There's even a track with just the music on the CD. I see kiddie karaoke in my in-laws' future!… (más)
