About the book:
The origin: The Journey of the Little Red Boat is based on an actual incident in which a little red boat broke away from its mooring, floated down the tidal Medomak River near the coast of Maine, and was recovered by the author near the village of Medomak. The story: From its happy home, the little red boat is driven by rain, wind and tide on a journey down river. It has several emotional encounters with rocks, sailboats, a seal and cormorant birds. Finally the little red boat drifts into a cove where it is discovered and cared for by a little girl and her grandparents and finds a happy home once again. Pre-publication Testing and Evaluation: This book was pre-tested on nine classes in grades K-3 by four experienced classroom teachers, a reading teacher and a librarian. The author personally read the book to four classes. The teachers and librarian rated it very favorably for retaining the children’s interest and providing several characters and events with which the children identified emotionally. The subject matter lends itself to extra activities, some of which are suggested in the book.
