The poems serve as an interesting medium for young readers to discover unique features of the lake, its surrounding areas and added attractions.In the early pages of the book readers are reminded that these beautiful, long, narrow lakes (that's why they're called "finger" lakes) are "?a glacial gift of the Ice Age."

The Finger Lakes Region produces 90% of wine in New York State, plus other products.Grapes love the lakes!
