But when I saw this review, I knew that you weren't influenced by Professor Davis, because this was one of his favourite books -- and not just because the author's name and the professor's followed the same pattern.

I agree that the book with text is better suited to grade 5 and up to adult. It's too information-dense for the little ones.

But Professor Davis was so fond of this book that he devoted most of one class to it, including showing us the National Film Board of Canada movie that mercifully left out the bits teaching us in detail about iron mining in Superior and shortened the bits where Paddle sits quietly in a backwater for months on end.

It really is a beautiful film and I'm pretty sure that younger children would enjoy it, and later, bring that enjoyment to the book and appreciate it in all its length and detail. You are here Home » Paddle-to-the-Sea. Paddle-to-the-Sea November 1, Water from the snow eventually reaches the sea.

So, though he was the son of the Great Chief of Hikueru, a race of Polynesians who worshipped courage, and he was named Stout Heart, he feared and avoided tha sea, till everyone branded him a coward. When he could no longer bear their taunts and jibes, he determined to conquer that fear or be conquered-- so he went off in his canoe, alone except for his little dog and pet albatross.

A storm gave him his first challenge. Then days on a desert island found him resourceful beyond his own expectation. This is the story of how his courage grew and how he finally returned home. This is a legend. It happened many years ago, but even today the people of Hikueru sing this story and tell it over their evening fires. The most comprehensive manual on how to kayak safely in a wide variety of sea environments--from inland waterways to ocean rock gardens, tide rips, surf zones, and the open ocean.

Aimed at beginners through experienced kayakers, this book describes how to deal with hazards, not just avoid them, using real-life, extensively tested techniques proven to work. You'll learn fundamental skills for recovery and rescue, and master safe paddling techniques in ocean conditions. Numerous photos accompany step-by-step descriptions of the Eskimo roll, towing methods, self- and partner-rescues, backup strategies, and group dynamics.

The second edition has a fresh chapter on fine-tuning your strokes, which will significantly increase kayaking fun and safety. World War II is drawing to a close in East Prussia and thousands of refugees are on a desperate trek toward freedom, many with something to hide. Among them are Joana, Emilia, and Florian, whose paths converge en route to the ship that promises salvation, the Wilhelm Gustloff.

Forced by circumstance to unite, the three find their strength, courage, and trust in each other tested with each step closer to safety. Just when it seems freedom is within their grasp, tragedy strikes. Not country, nor culture, nor status matter as all ten thousand people—adults and children alike—aboard must fight for the same thing: survival. As she did in Between Shades of Gray, Ruta Sepetys unearths a shockingly little-known casualty of a gruesome war, and proves that humanity and love can prevail, even in the darkest of hours.

Another such wave could easily be the end of us. I had to do something, fix something, save the boat, save myself. But what? Gary Paulsen takes readers along on his maiden voyage, proving that ignorance can be bliss.

Also really stupid and incredibly dangerous. He tells of boats that have owned him—good, bad, and beloved—and how they got him through terrifying storms that he survived by sheer luck.

Falling in love with the ocean set Gary Paulsen on a lifelong learning curve and readers will understand why his passion has lasted to this day. In their first year in an unfamiliar new world, the high-tech, low-tech, no-tech learning curve is steep and hilarious: exasperating, exhilarating. Whether or not you share the dream of moving off the grid, you'll get a laugh out of their unexpected adventures.

A monumental, wholly accessible work of scholarship that retells human history through the story of mankind's relationship with the sea.
