Easy to read with great tips for paddling, just in time for starting new summer adventures.
Love the format of the book and the content!

Plenty of photos with diagrams and a lot of text as a raccoon-like Ranger Rick (looks weird with a life vest on) shows up to explain everything you wanted to know about moving on the water as slow as possible.
The start is full of the ins and outs—mostly outs—of canoes, probably far more than any kid is gonna want to look at in one sitting. Kayaks get similar treatment, followed by paddleboards. After that come sections on gear, where to go, and what else there is to do.
At one point I thought this felt like a new-age textbook, and after that came the line, “Some (people) even practice yoga on (paddleboards).” So. . .

Incredibly detailed and informative book about paddling: kayaking, canoeing and even stand up paddling! Photos and diagrams are included with simple text and explanation. There are descriptions of the types of paddling, gear needed, safety info, how to paddle and where to go. Great book for outdoor adventures!

Thank you Netgalley and Walter Foster Jr for a copy of this book.

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.

RANGER RICK KIDS’ GUIDE TO PADDLING teaches everything you need to know about this fun summer sport. Covers small watercraft, gear, safety, and places to paddle. Also includes a working compass for navigation. Highly recommended!

Grateful to the Quarto Publishing Group - Walter Foster, Jr. and NetGalley for the early copy, in exchange for my true review.

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.
