The Boy Who Built the Boat - Softcover
In this charming and creative picture book, a young boy sets out to build a boat just like the ones his dad makes. Repetitious, tongue-twisting language traces Henry’s journey as he collects the tools he needs—including a saw, drill, and hammer—and enlists the help of his sister and her teddy bear. Beautifully detailed illustrations show Henry's father watching from a distance and capture the youngster's facial expressions and body language as the boat starts to take shape. This joyful, read-aloud tale celebrates the power of a child’s imagination and the simple delight of making things.
