(3) K-3 Illustrated by Wendell Minor. In this edge-of-your-seat adventure, Axel and his dog, alone in a kayak, follow his aunt and uncle's raft through the treacherous waters of Salmon River's Middle Fork in Idaho. They survive a majestic but harrowing encounter with a raging forest fire (artfully interpreted by Minor), and the grownups comfort Axel with a promise to return next summer to see the forest undergoing regeneration.
