by Mary Casanova (Author), Ard Hoyt (Illustrator)
I set off one morning in my little red canoe.
My dog wagged his tail.
Can I come, too?
You bet, I said.
A trip for two--just me and you.
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. . . .
