A Boy and a Bear in a Boat

I just finished reading a chapter book with my son called A Boy and a Bear in a Boat by Dave Shelton. I cannot say how much I loved this book. It was so timely to stumble upon this at the book store. I talk to my kids quite a bit about enjoying the moment and not worrying about getting to the end of whatever it is we are working on. There is so much to enjoy, learn and savor in the journey. Sometimes, if not most times, the journey is better than what is at the 'end' after all.
A Boy and a Bear in a Boat is about exactly what I have been trying to teach my kids. The story takes you through many ups and downs of the journey of the boy and bear. It is not all happy times but they learn along the way.
