Product Description
Up north ath the cabin,
I am a great gray dolphin.
The lake is my ocean...
Up north at the cabin,
I am a fearless voyageur,
guiding our canoe through the wilderness...
Up north at the cabin
I am always brave --
even in the dark woods,
when blood thumps through my head
like old Ojiway drums.
The magic of summer, the call of the north woods, and the exuberance of childhood imagination combine here to create a book that will be treasured long after the last autumn leaf has fallen.

 A Nostalgic look back at a summer experience March 25, 2007
Many children's books are really for adults, and this is likely one of them. It's aimed at adults who wish to remember their childhood summers spent in a family-owned cabin in the woods. If the kid readers lack this experience, they wouldn't enjoy the book as much, but they might still enjoy the story being read to them by a parent.

 Wonderful story! Wonderful illustrations! April 7, 2001

I use this book often with my elementary students to show them that words can create pictures in their readers' minds. The author paints a picture on each page, vividly describing fond memories of different parts of her vacation at the cabin. The illustrator supports that with incredibly detailed pictures. The kids were in awe of this book, it was very powerful for them, and for their writing!

A beautiful story about a girl's experiences with her family at a lake. The illustrations enhance the story line providing an opportunity to re-live past memories of my own. I recommend this to anyone who has spent time near/on a lake. A great gift idea for all ages!
