Ivinson's rich acrylics create a dramatic story around a handful of words. A fox's first attempt to turn a wooden box into a seaworthy vessel ends poorly, but after a little handiwork--and with a faithful mouse companion--he launches ("Boat. Float"). Unfortunately, a storm is brewing... The creatures burst with energy and personality, and the punchy words play with phonics and rhyme to create an enjoyable read-aloud.
