This fiction book is about a boy and his grandfather canoeing on a lake. In this book there are 3 stories. The first is about the beauty of the lake they are canoeing on. The second is about hiking as the sun rises, and the third is about hiking and finding shelter as the sun sets. The main theme of this book is learning how to respect nature and find his own place in the world. This book has notable features such as descriptive illustrations. I would use this book as an instructional application to introduce the topic of respect and learning about yourself. ( )

Morning on the Lake is a story about a Ojibway boy and his grandfather. The story takes you on a journey with the boy as he travels with his grandfather to his special place. Relationships are very important in this culture and the boy wants to experience the woods as his grandfather has. The boy and his grandfather travel together learning about love, trust, and nature.

This story is an amazing example of family and love. The illustrations are well crafted and help the reader to understand the respect the boy and his grandfather have for nature and each other. Readers can learn a lot about this culture by reading this book.

After reading the book students can complete a journal entry where they talk about a special relationship they share with an older family member or friend. ( )
