This is my best book ever...this one and Ronia. I loved it! It was an early birthday present. I liked that Paddle-to-the-Sea made it to the sea, and that the boy who made him found out about it. I really liked all the paintings and finding Paddle-to-the-Sea in the pictures. I really want to see the Niagara Falls now!

Mummy says:
This book was very evocative, and it touched on lots of things, some we talked about (Toby wondered why Paddle-to-the-Sea was called an "Indian", when we had been looking at "Native American" or "First People" for his letters, and we realised that our home - Sheffield - is not the only place in the world linked to steel). Because Toby is currently "writing his way" through the US and Canada, we got lots of "I wrote to X", and it was great seeing them all tied together in Paddle's journey.

Toby and His wonderful Mum and Dad,

I am so glad you liked Paddle to the Sea! I am still looking for Ronia. I may just have to order it! My daughter, Ebon (age 25) likes to send books to her nephews and nieces as Holiday gifts. In fact, they call her their Book or Library Auntie! So Ronia and Paddle would be great! I hope you can keep this reading review going, Toby! In this modern era it is nice to have. Thank you!
