Also by Polly Dunbar: Dog Blue Hello, Tilly (A Tilly and Friends Book) Happy Hector (A Tilly and Friends Book) Arthur's Dream Boat by Polly Dunbar Ages 2+ 40 pages Candlewick February 2012 Hardcover     No one really listens to little Arthur when he tries to share the wonderful dream he has had about an amazing boat: pink and green with a striped mast and a beautiful figurehead. The fact that the boat appears on the boy’s head and gets larger and larger as he tries to share his dream also escapes his family. Eventually something very strange happens that not only makes the boy’s family stop and listen to him but also come to appreciate Arthur’s Dream Boat. An imaginative picture book with excellent illustrations, this fanciful tale makes an interesting point that sometimes we just don’t listen to our children, and that’s not something we really want to make a habit!     web reviews   Bob Walch/2012 for curled up with a good kid's book   For grown-up fiction, nonfiction and speculative fiction book reviews, visit our sister site Curled Up With a Good Book (www.curledup.com)
