My kids (ages 5, 5, 5, & 7) & I are reading through this wonderful book right now, and I can't say enough wonderful things about it! The story is full of such great adventure and keeps you wanting more... the geography is great, and our favorite thing to do is go to the very back of the book to look at the map together after each chapter to see how far "paddle" has traveled so far!
