Synopsis
From the talented Polly Dunbar comes an imaginative adventure that will have children sailing away on their own flights of fancy.
One night, Arthur has an amazing dream about a pink and green boat with a striped mast and a beautiful figurehead. He can’t wait to tell his family about it! But when he tries, no one (not even the dog) is interested in listening. In fact, they don’t even notice when the very same boat gradually appears on his head, growing larger and larger by the minute! Soon Arthur is bouncing over the waves in his very own dream boat. Maybe now his family will listen to him!

Review
Dunbar creates a whimsical image out of a play on words in this story about a young boy, Arthur, who awakens after an incredible dream.
—The New York Times
Dunbar imaginatively transforms a seaside memory of a small boy in the ocean and a boat on the distant horizon into Arthur's adventure with a dream boat... Humorous, exuberant pencil-and-watercolor illustrations... A real attention-getter.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Adding to the sizable bookshelf of titles that bear witness to the power of a child’s imagination, Dunbar introduces Arthur, a boy first seen yawning and stretching after waking up from an “amazing” dream. His dream was about a boat and....with a pink and green hull, red polka-dot flag, and garish blue-haired figurehead, Arthur’s boat pops, disrupting the sherbet palette of Dunbar’s loose, free-spirited illustrations the same way Arthur’s fantasies cut through the busyness and noise of modern life.
—Publishers Weekly
Children likely won’t mind being swept aboard Arthur’s dream boat and sailing off into the sunset.
—Booklist
The large trim size allows the mixed-media compositions to be easily seen from a distance, making this a welcome choice for storytimes.
—School Library Journal
An entertaining flight of the imagination, as well as a great read-aloud.
—Seven Impossible Things blog
