Charlie's Boat

Description

Best friends really are the best when they use their imaginations to help each other. Charlie, Oliver, and Lulu love to play outside together. One fine day they all go fishing, but Charlie doesn't have much fun-all he can catch are sticks. Next, they build little boats and have a race, but, once again, things don't go very well. Charlie's boat comes in last. Things seem pretty gloomy until Oliver comes up with a plan. They build a special boat they can all play on, together! Kit Chase offers a sweet ode to friendship in this tale of three best friends who can count on each other to always make play time fun.

"Children will be drawn in by the bonhomie of the tale and the support and playfulness of the friends as values of creativity, resilience, patience, helpfulness, and compassion are emphasized without a trace of didacticism."--Kirkus Reviews "This gentle tale of friendship will help children realize that they don't have to be perfect at everything and how important supportive friends can be."--School Library Journal
