1st line/s: "Morning, a mountain lake. A traveler, a canoe. As she paddles out into the bluster middle of the lake, she turns for a last wave to the shore behind her. Her journey begins.
My comments: A woman, alone paddles a canoe the entire 315-mile length of the Hudson River in New York, detailing many of her adventures, sightings, and trials. It's a very interesting read for this adult, but I'm not sure how much it will hold a child's attention. Definitely suited for a third or fourth (or even higher) geography/river study.
Goodreads: Caldecott Honor winner Elisha Cooper invites readers to grab their oars and board a canoe down a river exploration filled with adventure and beauty.
In Cooper's flowing prose and stunning watercolor scenes, readers can follow a traveler's trek down the Hudson River as she and her canoe explore the wildlife, flora and fauna, and urban landscape at the river's edge. Through perilous weather and river rushes, the canoe and her captain survive and maneuver their way down the river back home.
River is an outstanding introduction to seeing the world through the eyes of a young explorer and a great picture book for the STEAM curriculum.
Maps and information about the Hudson River and famous landmarks are included in the back of the book.
