I THINK I read it as a child but my husband (81 years old in coming week!) treasured it and sees that book as influential in developing his love of travel. How much does he treasure his copy of his book? I used to share this story with my students in children's literature at Iowa State University: Early in our marriage, John's mother asked him to do some clearing of "his things" from his parents' house. John found his copy of Paddle-to-the-Sea and decided to take home to our house. He was shocked to open the book and find the name of his sister who is twelve years younger written on a front endpage! He was really quite angry and is pretty much a calm and easy-going person about most things but her name in HIS BOOK was too much for him!. When I began teaching children's literature, I asked if I might borrow his copy of Paddle-to-the-Sea to use in class. He said yes but I was then shocked to find he had used liquid "white-out" to block out his sister's name! I LOVED reading about Molly Bang and Penny Chisholm sharing a love for Paddle-to-the-Sea.
