A small boat on a wide lake

Made from a can, a cork, a pencil, and cloth, the boy’s toy boat becomes the center of a lake-bound adventure when the wind carries it away. The boat encounters waves and larger vessels—including a ferry, a schooner, and a speedboat—on its journey home. The simple, tangible materials behind the toy give the story a clear link to imaginative play, while its voyage brings boats and lake travel into the foreground.

Book overview

This classic tale makes the perfect gift for little boys who love adventure!

A little boy has a toy boat that he made out of a can, a cork, a yellow pencil, and some white cloth. The boy and his boat are inseparable . . . until the day the wind pushes the boat out into the wide lake, and the little boat must face fierce waves, a grumpy ferry, a sassy schooner, and a growling speed boat if he is to find his way home. From Randall de Seve and bestselling artist Loren Long, creator of the Otis series and illustrator of The Little Engine That Could, comes a child-friendly adventure sure to inspire imaginative toy play.
