Who Sank the Boat?

by Pamela Allen (Author)

Who Sank the Boat?
Reading Level: K − 1st Grade

A charmingly funny read-aloud that asks an important question: "Who sank the boat?"

Beside the sea, there once lived a cow, a donkey, a sheep, a pig, and a tiny little mouse. They were good friends, and one warm, sunny morning, for no particular reason, they decided to go for a row in the bay. Do you know who sank the boat?

"The idea is funny, the pictures are splendid, and the easy text is just right for the very young."-- The New Yorker

"A bright, brisk tale, simply told, illustrated by cheerful, comical pictures."-- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
