Sweet story, with really pretty acrylic illustrations, although not quite as remarkable as I was anticipating.
Sweet story, good lessons but beautiful illustrations.
Story of a little boy who made a toy boat. He loves it so much he bathes and sleeps with it. He takes it out to the lake and sails it while holding onto its string. We also hear from the boat that he wants to be out with the other boats. Of course the boat ends up venturing out but learns a lesson. The boy also learns a lesson about holding on to things.

This book is about a boy and a boat that he made out of recycled items. He bathed with the boat. He slept with the boat, and he took the boat to the lake to sail it. He always kept it tethered by a string. One day, however, the boat gets away. The bulk of the story is about the boats adventures around the lake and the different types of boats with whom it comes in contact. The story ends well with the little boat making it back to the boy and resuming its old role.
I like this book mainly because the story is so sweet. The illustrations are nice, too.
The boat is made of old items that the boy is reusing, so I guess the book could be used when teaching about reducing, reusing, and recycling. It could also be used to discuss safety, and how children should be protected by adults. However, this may just be a good book to use as a reader for younger ages.

This book is about a boy's toy boat that sails away on an adventure. It is a very cute story and would be good for an elementary read aloud.
Henry loves this one. He studies the makings of the boat (spool of thread, stick, can) on the endpapers before reading it each time.
My only issue is, why does the mom have to be the reason the boy drops the string and the boat is lost in the first place? Nice going, Mom. I change the text when I read it so the mom isn't such the bad guy. Geez.

The plot's a little hokey, but the illustrations make up for it.
