I LOVE LOREN LONGS ILLUSTRATIONS!!! this book captures your attention with its mood catching illustrations. I purchased this book after the reviews i read here. I don't regret it. The story of this toy boat going on his own adventure and then wanting to come back home is great to read to my little one (almost 3). My son wants this book read often and is definitely one of his favorites. One of mine too!!

This is a truly wonderful story. My son received this when he was two years old, a year later and we are STILL reading this book at least once a day. My son is a very active boy but will always sit down and read this book. I'm purchasing two additional copies - one to save for when he's older and another because the first copy has been read so many times its quite worn! A must for every little boy!!!

Toy Boat is a simple story enhanced wonderfully by the vibrant illustrations of Loren Long. My son loved the tale of the boat and was intrigued when it was lost in the churning waters with the big boats. He also loved the conclusion, when the boat returns to the open hands and heart of his young boy. The illustrations take this story to a much higher level. Together, the text and artwork make for pure enchantment.
