Praise for TOY BOAT
* "The streamlined text is straightforward, letting the
amazing art do much of the work. Long's acrylic, hyperrealistic
pictures, awash with many shades of blue, are so substantial they
seem to be molded from clay, and his expansive double-page spreads
effectively convey the perspectives and differences in the size
between the full-size boats and the boy's beloved toy. A harmonious
ending brings the story full circle. With plenty of buoyant charm
and imaginative artwork, this contemporary Little Toot has an
abundance of child appeal."--Booklist, starred review
"A resonant tale with wide appeal."--Publishers Weekly
