Love seeing a lady tugboat captain! Excellent cadence. Perfect for read aloud or story time.

Would have been better if it had fewer pages.

I love that this is available in both hardcover picture book and board book. Minimal text, but, paired with this illustrations, this is actually a rather exciting story about a rescue mission. Will easily appeal to very little readers who love boats and slightly older little readers who will recognize and enjoy the drama of the story.

Blue Boat is about a rescue boat that happens to be, well, blue. The story within its pages is that the boat is off to save a family that is stuck out in the water and a super dangerous, scary storm in coming in.

There really isn't much more to the story than that. I would say the majority of this story is in the artwork which is fun and bright. It is entertaining enough, but as a parent, I would like a bit more to the story than was actually there.

The nice thing though is that not only does this book come as a normal picture book, but it also comes as a board book. So you can get a much harder to destroy copy that you can let your little boat lover have to look at whenever their hearts desire!

This review is based on a copy provided by the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review.
