Rivertime is a quirky, charming immersion into the life of a waterway and into the life- lessons a river can teach.

All children need an Uncle Egg to open up the magical world of nature. We all need to get outside, away from television, computers and mobile phones, and what better way than a canoeing-camping trip? This is a delightful story about the joy of the outdoors.
