Annotation: "Loon Chase" shares the moment of wonder when a young boy's peaceful canoe ride turns frantic as he discovers that his domesticated dog still has powerful instincts similar to animals in the wild. It is also about the surprising outcome of the encounter between the dog and a loon protecting chicks; the bigger animal doesn't necessarily prevail. Kathryn Freeman's pastel illustrations evoke feelings of being on the lake and the "For Creative Minds" section has teaching trivia, crafts and games related to loons, their migration patterns and efforts to protect this species. Written by Jean Heilprin Diehl, Illustrated by Kathryn Freeman. Ages 6-10.
