Looking for Loons. This item is unavailable.Looking for Loons

Just after sunrise a boy ventures out the front porch of the family cottage to scan the misty lake through the lenses of an old pair of binoculars. He is looking for loons. The magical sights and sounds of nature make his wait worthwhile. Being joined by other pajama-wearing family members and the steaming mug of hot chocolate make his experience unforgettable. A beautiful picture book that illustrates a boy's fond memories of summer spent at a cottage.
