Sylvia is a little girl who is very bored one afternoon and decides to go down to the lake alone even though she has been told not to.

She finds an old boat down at the lake, gets in, and floats away without realizing she has no oars. She is afraid, but is found by a friendly duck named George who keeps her company.

Sylvia has a few problems including no oars, getting caught on a log, and becoming cold, tired, and hungry.

The children I read this story to loved it and the pictures. One little boy raised his hand as high as he could at the beginning and asked what disobedient meant. When I told him, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Oh yeah, I'm disobedient every day!" I just love kids!

I love the story & the artwork! I'm so glad it has a happy ending; I can't stand stories that don't have happy endings! ;)
Duck named George...Cool!
Good work Steph & Anna!!
yes we discussed how children's books typically end. a long time ago they ended happily ever after, now they end hopeful after a storyline of overcoming some fear or problem!
You and Anna did a great job. Can you try to publish it?
