About the Author
Tony Mitton is an award-winning poet, whose gently mesmerising, often humorous poetry is irresistible to both children and adults alike. He is an extremely versatile author, writing story poems and shorter verse with skill and wit. Tony does lots of author events, school visits and poetry readings and always leaves his audience entranced. Selina Young was a talented illustrator and her books have been published all round the world. Selina grew up in Surrey and moved to New Zealand in 1993, where she lived with her son Alfred by the seaside. Selina died in 2006, but her illustrations will continue to delight parents and children alike for many years to come.
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K Two children build a boat, picnic, find a treasure map and sail to a pirates' island. They get chased by pirates and saved by a whale, and end up back at their beach. Once there, they decide to build a home out of the boat and stay forever. The simple rhyming text is illustrated with cheerful cartoons predominated by sea green and blue watercolor washes the whole effectively conjuring up seaside memories. There are plenty of picture books on the beach and ocean, etc., and this one is not unique, but it has a nice feel about it. A satisfying imaginative adventure, perfect for summer storytimes. Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA
