In this frigid, ponderous rendering of the familiar rhyme, three
youngsters rig up a box-boat in an attic . . . which then
materializes into a cloud-borne craft outside . . . and finally
carries them back . . . to be discovered, sleeping, by their
parents. The children are pallid; the colors are uniformly,
deliberately drab; the whole has indeed an unhealthy, almost
spectral appearance - but not a jot of magic. Both the make-believe
and the sentimentality are better served by Barbara Cooney's
moon-lit transfiguration. (Kirkus Reviews)
"This classic bedtime poem appears in a newly illustrated edition.
. . . Westerman's minutely detailed watercolors depict a Dutch
landscape where three children, dressed in nightclothes, and a cat
set sail in a wooden shoe. The luminosity of the moonlit sea is
captured in muted shades of blue that create a soothing mood for
the dramatic verse."--"School Library Journal."
