Eight animals on a sailboat learn that by using their individual talents for the good of the group they all benefit and keep each other afloat and safe. This description may be from another edition of this product.
The story is fourth grader, Rosenbaum's entry in the Young Publish-a-Book contest. With that in mind, I'd give it 4 stars for creativity (animals helping each other on a boat), but must knock off a star for the somewhat lame start of the book. The professional illustrations by Jean Pidgeon greatly enhance the story (add a star). The color and action in the pictures plus the expressive faces of the animals add a lot of appeal for youngsters.
An amazing book for young chlidren
