Once you reach the end of this book, you'll know all the parts of your boat, the differences between a beaver tail paddle and a Greenland paddle, how to make a float plan, and how to care for and store your boat once you come home.

If you are looking to get your kids into the water this summer, do so safely! Ranger Rick has some great tips, advice and MORE!

Easy to follow pictures and guide allows kids of different ages to understand and absorb the information. I have shared the information with my kids, and then we discussed afterwards, and they learned so much it was amazing! I look forward to seeing the other books that Ranger Rick has! My kids loved the information, and we had a great time looking through and discovering all the different tidbits and facts that they presented.

Perfect design for taking with you in a waterproof pack for reference and having on the shelf for study before paddling. All the details for paddling are included and it is helpful. Anyone new to paddling will find this useful. The photos and graphs are interesting and helpful -- perfect for this guide. The information included is exactly what is needed to make this guide useful.
