The 32 pages (8 x 10") are light on text and are dedicated mostly to vivid drawings of the Western landscape and its inhabitants. An interesting inclusion is a brief glossary that includes terms not commonly found in kids' books but highly relevant to paddling, such as "personal flotation device," "strainer," and "groover"!
The publisher, Mascot Kids, aims the book at ages 3 to 8, but younger would-be paddlers certainly will enjoy the pictures, even if the glossary is a bit over their heads.
A portion of the proceeds benefits American Whitewater, which sells the book on its website. It also is available from Amazon and from the publisher. If you like Squeak, be advised that in other books she goes climbing and backcountry skiing.
