# I Want a Boat! - Hardcover

by **Liz Garton Scanlon** (Author), **Kevan Atteberry** (Illustrator)

**A box is never just a box when you have a vivid imagination and a couple stuffed animal friends to join you on a fantastic ocean voyage.**

_I have a box,_  
_I want a boat._

With nothing but spare text and a bright imagination, _I Want a Boat!_ follows a girl as she finds a way to transform a plain old box in an ordinary room into a magical sailboat, complete with a rudder, sail, and anchor. She and her stuffed-animal friends take to the high seas, encounter raging storms, and make it to dry land, just in time for supper.

Award-winning author Liz Garton Scanlon's sprightly text and candy-colored, kid-friendly illustrations by Kevan Atteberry (_Ghost Cat_, _Dear Beast_) make this a perfect read-aloud for the youngest child.
