Arthur's Dream Boat Summary

Arthur's Dream Boat by Polly Dunbar

A magical picture book with playful, modern touches and a breathtaking colour palette, so enchanting that readers will be scrambling for a seat in Arthur's dream boat! Have you ever had a dream so wonderful you wanted to tell EVERYONE? Arthur has! He dreamt about an amazing beautiful pink and green boat with a stripy mast but ... NO ONE (not even his dog!) is interested in hearing about it. In fact, they don't even notice that this very same boat is growing on his head, getting larger and larger by the minute! Soon, Arthur is bouncing along the waves in his very own dream boat. Maybe now his family will listen to him!

Arthur's Dream Boat Reviews

Original and magical, this playful tale is brought alive by wonderfully dreamy illustrations. * The Bookseller *
Polly Dunbar's surreal seafaring voyage proves to be a boat not to be missed....It's gently surreal, in the grand tradition of bizarro children's picture-book creators such as Maurice Sendak, David McKee and Anthony Browne. While fun from the first pass, it reveals more and more with each reading. Small readers will spend many happy hours unravelling the little details within. * We Love This Book *
Touching and original from one of out best authors * Angels and Urchins *
With delicate and whimsically soft illustrations, this book perfectly captures a toddler's enthusiasm * Junior *
a story that allows a child to feel important - and heard * Guardian *
A delightful book, which is perfect for sharing * Booktrust *
juxtaposes a child's unfettered fantasy life with his safe, everyday existence to powerful effect ... seductive * London Evening Standard *
this journey delves into the mind of your little one, with wonderfully textured artwork, and brings you with it! * CBI recommended reads of 2012 *
