A cavalcade of boats both realistic and whimsical.“Old boats. New boats. / One-or-two boats. // Tall boats. Small boats. / Heave-and-haul boats.” So begins Boswell’s playful, rhythmic, and compact text. Mostov’s illustrations, which are graphically simple and pleasingly two-dimensional in dark and bold colors, depict a wide range of floating apparatuses, mostly in profile. There are human-powered boats, such as kayaks, a dinghy, and pedal-powered boats, and nature- and machine-powered vehicles, such as a few types of sailboats, submarines, a motorboat, and an airboat. As the text goes on, they grow quite fanciful and include a sailboat carried aloft by balloons and sea-horse– and flamingo-shaped vessels. A playful excursion for young mariners. -- Kirkus Reviews
A great find. My little one always likes books that have a lot to see and talk about on all of the pages and Go Boats Go does not disappoint. Bright and imaginative illustrations go well with the fun and playful story. -- Amazon Review
