The Boy Who Built the Boat

By Ross Mueller · Illustrated by Craig Smith About

Henry sets out to build a boat one day. He has a hammer and a saw and a sister and a Teddyand a shed full of big ideas. With a buoyant, rhythmic text, ideal for reading aloud, The Boy Who Built the Boatcelebrates the simple joy of making things.Praise for The Big Ball of String(also by Ross Mueller and Craig Smith):’Subtle yet distinctively Australian this book may well prove a serious contender for the status of favourite “read aloud and read along” book.’ Lizzie Whyte AB&PJuly 2004’A particularly good book, gentle and funny and a real testament to both author’s and illustrator’s imagination. Craig Smith’s drawings are brilliant … This is a very Australian book, with warbling magpies and plenty of space to roam, but it has universal appeal. Very highly recommended for four to nine year olds.’ Melbourne’s ChildOct 2004
