Illustrated by
Melanie Hope Greenberg.
From toy boats in the bathtub to working ships in a harbor to dreamy boats sailing among the stars, this simple poem presents a rhythmic litany, not only of different kinds of boats, but also of where they can be found: "Out of water / In the water / Underwater / Full of water." Stylized illustrations of ships with crews of mice are enhanced with bright, flat colors.
