(3) K-3 Translated by Sheila Fischman. Illustrated by Sheldon Cohen. In this well-told, colloquial version of a classic French-Canadian folktale, eleven-year-old Baptiste, working in a logging camp, accompanies the other homesick lumberjacks as they paddle back to their Quebec village in a flying canoe for New Year's Eve. The digitally colored drawings' naive style matches the story's tone. A lengthy text and small typesize make this more useful with older children.
