Cotton, Cynthia The
Book Boat’s In Illustrated by Frane Lessac Holiday House, 2013. $16.95
PICTURE BOOK Content: G.
Jesse went to town with his father in their
horse drawn wagon and was excited to see the book boat was docked. When he went to the book boat he was thrilled
to see that there was a copy of The Swiss Family Robinson because it was his
favorite book, but his father couldn’t afford it. The book seller told Jesse he would be back
in a week and to save up. So Jesse works
all week long to buy the book, but is three cents short. When Jesse gets to the boat, the copy he was
hoping to buy of Swiss Family Robinson had been sold, but the book seller had a
different and cheaper copy. Jesse bought
his first book and wrote his name it.
At
the end of the book there is a paragraph that explains how the Erie Canal used
to have book boats that would make learning and culture available in areas that
wouldn’t have normally had assess. This
is a great story that reminds readers to appreciate the availability of books
now a days as well as the worth of books.
The illustrations had bright colors and matched the style of the story.
EL-ADVISABLE.
Reviewer, C. Peterson.
