Recensione

"This book is obviously a feast for the outdoor lover -- the hunter, the fisherman, or camper -- but it will also draw those who love the beauty of the carefully crafted description, so detailed and vivid that the reader can feel the warming of spring days and taste the bullhead.... Above all, Father Water, Mother Woods is the essence of Paulsen, the revelation of the author himself and why he writes as he does." -- Booklist

Mr. Tucket
-- "Here's a real rock 'em sock 'em ripsnorter...in 1848, a fourteen-year-old boy is captured from an Oregon-bound wagon train by Pawnee Indians and saved by a one-armed mountain man, Mr. Grimes....Superb characterization, splendidly evoked setting, and thrill-a-minute plot make this book a joy to gallop through."

-- Publishers Weekly, Starred
