One-Dog Canoe

Grab your paddle and jump aboard this cute little red canoe story. Then grab your friend, and his friend, and her friend and the story continues.
The story starts with a little girl and her dog. But as they head down stream they add an assortment of other creatures to her little red canoe. The rhyming text flows along nicely until the tongue-twisting list of all the animals that have joined in the party.
The canoe stayed afloat even through bear and moose jumping in but once frog decided to hop in, all of the canoe's passengers went for a swim. The little girl ended up leaving all her new friends in the end in her one-dog canoe.
The illustrations are great! They are so detailed and the emotion on the faces of all the different animals are perfect. It is interesting to see their facial expressions change from page to page. There are a lot of little details in the illustrations as well if you look closely. Definitely a title I will keep in mind!
