The Little Boat by Kathy Henderson (Walker Books) The story of a little boy who makes a boat from polystyrene and plays happily with it until a wave drags it into the huge ocean to be tossed through 'uneasy' seas amidst roaring winds. It lands on a far shore to be picked up by a little girl. Lilting language carries the little boat throughout the journey. Definitely a book for aspiring boat builders!
