Overview

I'm wondering if you'd go wandering with me Through the wilderness and woods To where the winds are blowin' free. The Grammy (R) Award-winning Okee Dokee Brothers-Joe Mailander and Justin Lansing-celebrate the beauty of nature and the joys of being outdoors and unplugged. Their family-friendly music aims to inspire parents and kids to get outside and get creative. Can You Canoe? journeys cross-country in 12 songs, from the rolling hills of Appalachia in the east to the canyons and campfires of the West. Along the way, The Okee Dokee Brothers' irresistible, boot-stompin' tunes invite kids to wander through the woods and wilderness, where they'll discover hungry black bears and tall-tale spinners; quiet canoes and cozy camping tents; a jumpin' jamboree and a bullfrog opera. Brandon Reese's lively illustrations, and a CD to sing along with, will make this set a children's classic.

* Children s folk/bluegrass duo the Okee Dokee Brothers (aka Joe Mailander and Justin Lansing) move into children s books with this title featuring 12 of their songs (an audio CD is included). Children with even the slightest outdoorsy inclinations will be easily drawn into the songwriters inviting descriptions of life under the stars ( So I moved down to the river, / Where fishin hooks pay the rent ) and playful sights like The Bullfrog Opera or a beaver wedding in Mr. and Mrs. Sippy (Mrs. Sippy get it?). Reese s sweeping illustrations highlight a sense of joyful exploration in the great outdoors, and the musicians twangy rhythms and thoughtful lyrics should please parents as much as children.
