Henry sets out to build a boat one day. He has a hammer and a saw and a sister and a Teddy and a shed full of big ideas. With a buoyant, rhythmic text, ideal for reading aloud, The Boy Who Built the Boat celebrates 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&P July 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 Child Oct 2004
