"“Did you realize that of all the world’s most beautiful sights, there is nothing more beautiful than a ship and its lights on the sea at night?” Dave Eggers takes young readers on a tour of his favorite seafaring vessels, as you’ve never seen them before. Here hyperbole is a force for good rather than evil! Each ship is described lovingly, yet the star of the show is the art of Annie Dills. Imagine Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirrors turned into a boat book for preschoolers. Void and light and the blur of water melt into the ultimate bedtime fare. (For ages 6 to 10)"
