A young Indian boy has finished his paddle-person at last, a foot long carving of an indian in a canoe. He set Paddle on a snowbank so when it melted Paddle would be carried into a river that would take him to the sea. Paddle's journey to the sea is very long indeed, but many people help him along. To find out if he ever reaches the sea read this book yourself. It has much information in it's margins.

  Story of Bravery

Paddle to the Sea is a very good book because it shows a boy making a one-foot-long little Indian Paddle Boat called Paddle to the Sea. The boy put a toy Indian in it and set it in the snow where it would start to melt. The next morning, he was just in time to see the Indian rush down the melting snow! After a few months, the Indian came to the great lake. One time, he went into a small lake and on one side there was a forest fire and animals were running across the lake, getting super wet. Birds were flying to the other side, too. The Paddle to the Sea was saved because the waves did not carry him to shore. If they would have, he would have been burned up because he was wood! Whenever someone saw Paddle to the Sea, the person would write on the bottom of it and put it back in the water because it was suppose to go to the sea. If you want to find out more about this exciting book, you should read it! I love this book!
