<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A girl uses her imagination to turn an ordinary box into a sailboat.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A box is never just a box when you have a vivid imagination and a couple stuffed animal friends to join you on a fantastic ocean voyage.</b> <p/><i>I have a box, </i><br><i>I want a boat.</i> <p/>With nothing but spare text and a bright imagination, <i>I Want a Boat!</i> follows a girl as she finds a way to transform a plain old box in an ordinary room into a magical sailboat, complete with a rudder, sail, and anchor. She and her stuffed-animal friends take to the high seas, encounter raging storms, and make it to dry land, just in time for supper. <p/>Award-winning author Liz Garton Scanlon's sprightly text and candy-colored, kid-friendly illustrations by Kevan Atteberry (<i>Ghost Cat</i>, <i>Dear Beast</i>) make this a perfect read-aloud for the youngest child.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>All sails are set and pulling in this imaginative matchup of words and pictures.<b> --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b> <p/>In <b>I Want a Boat! </b>dynamic illustrations and tightly focused prose combine for a boatload of high-seas fun.<b><i>--BookPage</i></b> <p/>Atteberry (<i>Ghost Cat</i>) creates a toy-box world of soft forms, scribble-shadowed waves, and swirling breezes. . . . The draw of the story is the young protagonist's ability to brings needs to life via imagination--power that Scanlon emphasizes with the punch of repeating, easily memorized prose.--<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Liz Garton Scanlon is the author of many picture books for young readers including the New York Times bestseller and Caldecott Honor book <i>All the World</i>, illustrated by Marla Frazee. <p/>Kevan Atteberry has written and illustrated several books for children, including <i>Ghost Cat</i>, which Publishers Weekly called A comforting story of memory, longing, and hope.
