Readers will know what is going to happen, but hope and hope that it won’t. Then with the boat racing away from the boy, the pace quickens and the pages turn faster.
From experiencing the joy of a good rainstorm to having a paper boat that floats so gracefully, the joy is tangible in the early part of the book. He heads home, gets dried off, has some cocoa, and then it is back to the newspapers, this time to make something for the sunny day outside.īeautifully paced with luminous illustrations, this wordless picture book is filled with simple pleasures. It is all droopy and limp, just like the disappointed boy. The boy goes to a bridge and sees the limp newspaper page come out of the drainpipe into the pond. When he lets it into the fast flowing water in the gutter, it scoots away from him, across the road, and down into the sewer. Then he floats the boat in a quiet puddle. The sky is dark with rain clouds and the boy protects the paper boat from the sudden downpour with his rain slicker. This wordless picture book has a boy creating a boat from newspapers that he then takes outside.
