Product Description [*Read by the author Robb White] While still a young boy, Robb White built his first boat, hewn from the tin roof of an abandoned chicken coop in the back yard. Today, without any formal training, White constructs some of the most soughtafter wooden boats around. In How to Build a Tin Canoe, this Southern raconteur and selftaught, expert woodenboat builder builder recounts tall tales of a life lived on the water, from his childhood exploring the Gulf of Mexico to growing up or not really growing up to share his accrued wisdom with others. With wry humor, he offers such life lessons as how to survive rampaging monkeys and how to stop a turtle from eating your boat. Both wise and entertaining, How to Build a Tin Canoe will find a place on the shelves of all readers who love fishing, boating, and great storytelling. Review ''White's character comes through in his voice as he describes a way of life unknown to most of us. Though he's cantankerous, White's real subject is joy; it would be a shame to miss him telling of it.'' AudioFile ''Overflows with downhome charm...Endlessly enjoyable, especially for those who like to mess about in boats.'' Booklist ''White does his own narrating and he is superb with his mellow voice, Southernflavored speech, timing, storytelling way, and good humor...Absolutely delightful.'' Kliatt ''A graceful primer on life and how to sail through it with character.'' Kirkus Reviews ''White . . . has also been blessed with the gene of gifted storytelling.''
