A HORN BOOK AND BULLETIN OF THE CENTER FOR CHILDREN’S BOOKS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

Raise the mainsail!
Batten the hatches!
It's time to set sail…on the couch!

There's a storm coming, and a child is ready to captain the ship. "Make haste and climb aboard," they call out to their parent, "before you're swept out to sea!"

Sea? What sea? The parent is only trying to vacuum the rug. But the child is adamant. It's not a rug--it's the ocean. And that broom? It's the ship's mast. Soon enough, child and parent are both off on an imaginary nautical adventure!

Here is a thoroughly engaging, hilarious picture book that celebrates the joys of playing make-believe--and hanging out with a parent!

Lucy ★★★★★

We read this together for bedtime and my daughter immediately started calling me "first mate" which cracked me up. The text has a perfect rhythm for reading aloud, with just enough pirate lingo to be fun without being confusing.

Emma ★★★★★

My kid loves pretending to be the captain while I play the first mate, and the rhyming text keeps us both engaged through the whole voyage. The adventure feels real without even leaving the living room floor, which is perfect for bedtime energy burns.
