<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Bouncy rhyming text and exuberant illustrations highlight the funny antics ofa girl and her dog who get several unexpected passengers in their canoe. Fullcolor.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>I set off one morning in my little red canoe.</i><br><i>My dog wagged his tail.</i><br><i>Can I come, too?</i><br><i>You bet, I said.</i><br><i>A trip for two--just me and you.</i> <p/>When a girl and her dog set out on a canoe trip together, they're expecting a quiet afternoon for two. Then a beaver decides to join them, even when the girl protests that It's a one-dog canoe. And when a loon, and a wolf, and a bear, and a moose all ask for a ride, it's almost too much. But they all manage to fit in this one-dog canoe--until a frog comes along. . . .</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Rhyming text sets a buoyant tone, as do debut artist Hoyt's lively illustrations. . . . Readers will happily embark on this animated excursion." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"A girl sets out on a canoe ride and is joined by her dog, then a variety of animal passengers. . . .

Their inevitable big splash will surely elicit giggles." --<i>School Library Journal</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Mary Casanova is the author of several novels and picture books including <i>The Hunter</i>, a Booklist Editors' Choice and a winner of the Minnesota Book Award, and <i>Dog Watch</i>, a series of books for early readers.
