Serene Sailing

This little gem of a book brings the reader into that imaginary world where everyday items engage the imagination into entertaining adventure. In Ship Ahoy, a small boy transforms his couch into a series of various sea-worthy vessels, much as the sheet used to turn our childhood tables into caves and houses. Safe in his own living room, with his mother nearby, he travels on these ships until another object from daily life threatens to undo his happy fantasy. Mom tames the beast and contentment returns, in the safety of Peter Sis' endearing illustrations.

Matt is on the living-room couch, surrounded by a bright blue rug...or is he sailing on the high seas? Rubber raft, canoe, fishing smack, pirate ship, submarine, ocean liner... Matt is captain of them all until--avast! His mother comes to vacuum the rug. What happens then will delight and astonish young children who, like Matt, can imagine a couch pillow as a smokestack, a cardboard tube as a paddle, and a vacuum cleaner as the legendary monster of the deep! Caldecott Honor artist Peter Sms sails triumphantly into port with this salty companion to Fire Truck and Trucks Trucks Trucks. Welcome aboard!
