As a Midwestern American, I was not aware of the folktale of the flying canoe from the French Canada region. I saw this book, though, as a check in at the library I work at, and just had to get me a copy.I like the themes of loneliness and being far away from home. With our society more scattered th...

I liked The Spider's Gift.

The illustrations in this book are just lovely, but I'm not sure that my niece fully understood the moral of this tale. In fact, I know she didn't, because I asked her what it was, and she couldn't quite tell me. I think that the story was either too long, so her attention span didn't go the dista...
