Description
If you’re like most kids who love the outdoors, you also love kayaking, canoeing, or paddleboarding! By reading this book, you’ll learn all about small watercraft and how to paddle them, what gear to take with you on the water, beautiful places to paddle, and what wildlife to look out for on the water. Once you reach the end of this book, you'll know all the parts of your boat, the differences between a beaver tail paddle and a Greenland paddle, how to make a float plan, and how to care for and store your boat once you come home. You’ll also find lots of great practical tips, such as how to paddle for hours without getting tired, and techniques for going forward, backward, and sideways, all without getting wet!
The better you get at the skills taught in this book, the more fun you’ll have on your next paddling adventure! So read the tips, and then head for the great outdoors for a paddling adventure. You can bring this book with you and use the compass to help you find your way. Happy paddling!

If you are looking to get your kids into the water this summer, do so safely! Ranger Rick has some great tips, advice and MORE!
Easy to follow pictures and guide allows kids of different ages to understand and absorb the information. I have shared the information with my kids, and then we discussed afterwards, and they learned so much it was amazing! I look forward to seeing the other books that Ranger Rick has! My kids loved the information, and we had a great time looking through and discovering all the different tidbits and facts that they presented.

Perfect design for taking with you in a waterproof pack for reference and having on the shelf for study before paddling. All the details for paddling are included and it is helpful. Anyone new to paddling will find this useful. The photos and graphs are interesting and helpful -- perfect for this guide. The information included is exactly what is needed to make this guide useful.
