From the Publisher
"A great beginner's book. I like the book's down-home conversations with the reader. It makes the reading enjoyable and memorable. I especially like the view expressed throughout the book that canoeing is something everyone can enjoy. The international approach to the canoeing experience is very interesting, helpful, encouraging, and of interest to more experienced paddlers."
