![]() ![]() I know this wouldn't be for everyone, but something about it really resonated with me and the hope and vision of his toy journey making it all the way to the sea. ![]() I really did enjoy this and there are maps to see where and how he went. He eventually makes it to France after 3 years and makes the International papers and the boy, now a teen sees that his little friend made the journey. ![]() He travels all through the 5 great lakes and people help him out along the way and he sees all manner of things. When the snow thaws, he sends it on it's journey to the sea with a message asking to help get the paddle man there. A young boy up in Canada makes a canoe with an Indian in it that will float. It was a fun journey exploring the lakes and waterways of the great lakes out to the sea. I found it charming and interesting and a story that drew me in. It would make a great first reader book for someone who wants to read a story if they enjoy more history things. It is a full page of text with a full picture. I don't think this would make a great bedtime story as it would take about 30-45 minutes to read it aloud at least. ![]()
