Product Information
Winner of the National Outdoor Book Award as best children's book, 2014. In the early morning a boy and his mom walk down a forest path to explore a lake by canoe. What is rustling in the leaves? Hiding on the forest floor? Splashing in the marsh grasses? Swimming toward them? Knock-knocking on a tree along the shore? High up in a tree on the island ahead? Flying above?Paddling along, they learn the answers and encounter surprises: a red squirrel; a wood frog; a beaver that slaps its tail in warning; a great blue heron stalking; an osprey nest with chicks, their mother flying home with a fish; a dragonfly that lands for a visit.But will they see a loon? Then they hear its call. Ah-oooo! In the distance they see it dive underwater, hunting for fish, and they wait....When will it come up, and where? Finally the loon emerges--HERE!By now the sun is higher, the mist has lifted, and it's time to go back. Their own breakfast is waiting. Includes a TELL ME MORE section with descriptions about each creature the paddlers encounter, and a TELL ME EVEN MORE section with resources for further information, including a website for hearing the various calls of a loon.Product Identifiers
