Review
This is a simple tale about Millie and her stuffed bear Milo. They are going on a sailing adventure and they have many mishaps along the way, including fearsome frogs and storms. At the very end of their trip they encounter a swirling whirlpool but are saved just in the nick of time and just in time for bed. There are minimum words on each page and delightful muted illustrations. Of course, we deduce that they have really been taking a bath before bed. Perhaps this will entice little ones who otherwise might be frightened or unwilling, to enjoy their bath rather than dread it. To top it all off, there are instructions about how to make a boat out of a piece of paper. What fun!
Overall Book Score: excellent
