Three Days on a River in a Red Canoe
by Vera B. Williams
A.R. Level 3.5
Genre: Realistic Fiction
A boy's story of the 3-day trip he takes with his mother, aunt, and cousin begins with the purchase of the canoe and the planning of the trip. The exciting adventures are retold with pencil drawings illustrating each page. This type of storytelling feels like a journal with its side notes on knot tieing, recipes, and tent hoisting instructions. It is exactly the kind of journaling I tried (in vain) to get my family to adopt for our vacations. I am going to reread this to them and see if I can inspire them to give it another try.
