An incredible journey of a figure in a toy canoe finding it's way to the ocean. A lot of American geography, history and nature components are beautifully illustrated. Perhaps the living-est of living books.

None of it is boring (at least not to nerdy parents, but my 5yo also seemed engaged in each page). I wouldn’t try to finish it in one sitting, there’s so much to look at and enjoy on each page that 2-3 chapters (pages) at a time is good.
