What Members Thought
The co-creator of Ladybug Girl has another winner here. Beautifully illustrated, this adventure story for young children includes a gentle lesson about responsibility.
Fantastic seascapes, some visual humor, a substantial (but never too wordy) text and story, sly bears, and a satisfying but just ending. This would be a treat to read aloud.
June 2016 - I still love the illustrations, but bumped it down a star. Ben enjoyed it.

The books features beautiful illustrations, but... I did not find the story very engaging?!? Maybe I have read to many clever picture books in the past couple of months, that this quiet story did not quite excite me enough. I think that when I come back to this book, I will appreciate it more.
My predicted winner
Beautiful, spare in places, and not too entirely sweet. Nice story.
Beautiful illustrations.
