Docherty's Little Boat has recently been shortlisted for the prestigious Greenaway Medal so we thought we'd introduce to you an earlier title of his that is equally captivating. Join a delightful little boy when he decides he wants to go to the beach. But what's he going to take with him and how is he going to get there? Brilliant imagery with minimal text. It's a real treat.
One little boy's flight of fancy can be a powerful thing. From his bedroom window on a rainy day, his imagination takes him to the beach! Along the way Thomas Docherty's instantly charming, nostalgic artwork transports the reader on the journey, by plane, truck, boat, bike and even on a very friendly camel!
