They both set off into the water. But as she paddled other animal starting asking her "can I come too?".she told them it is a " one dog canoe" but no one listened. First it was the beaver then a loon then a bear and even a moose too. But the canoe could not hold not another animal so when the frog hopped on board it threw everyone onto the water. The other animals realized they should of listened to her. So when she dried off she set off to the Northern Lights , just her and her dog like it should've been from the start. I really liked this book because it reminds me of me and my dog and the activities just me and him go do like going out to the park. One day a young girl and her faithful dog push their canoe into the lake and set off for on a trip for two. As they paddle around the lake they pass Beaver, “Can I come, too?” The girl objects that this is a “one-dog canoe,” but Beaver hops in with a slap of his tail. Despite her protestations, she somehow ends up in a “one-moose, one-bear, one-wolf, one-loon, one-beaver, one-dog canoe!” With such a heavy load all it takes is a small frog to tip the canoe into the water, “Plop! Swoosh-a-bang flop!” The girl and the animals laugh and splash and admit that it really was just a one-dog canoe. They bail out the canoe and soon the girl and her dog paddle off in their one-dog canoe. The rhyming text flows along swiftly and uses wonderful imagery, “I dipped my paddle into ribbons of blue.” The illustrations are humorous and filled with funny details. Pay attention to the picnic basket and its contents throughout the book.

Several predictable areas throughout the children’s story book. Examples include- It’s a one-moose, one-bear, one-wolf, one-loon, one-beaver, one-dog canoe. Can I come, too?
The illustrations were illustrated with fragile colors making the story enjoyable to read with the relatable simple drawings. Great specific detail surrounding/covering the whole page. ( )
