Description: The Adventures of the Little Boat! "The Little Boat" tells the story of a small boat's amazing journey as it travels halfway around the world. At the seaside, where the ocean meets the land, waves wash over pebbles and sweep across the sand, parasols flutter in the breeze, and ice cream vendors call out even louder than the seagulls. Children come to play at the beach with their buckets, shovels, and sunscreen in hand. This picture book stands out for its lyrical, poetic text and its grand, detailed illustrations that beautifully capture the seaside scenery.
