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!

Reviews

'Original and magical, this playful tale is brought alive by wonderfully dreamy illustrations.' 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

'It is a story that allows a child to feel important – and heard' Guardian
