I Want a Boat by Liz Garton Scanlon

A girl has a box, but wants a boat. No problem! Just add a little imagination. 

Thoughts: Simple text with gorgeous illustrations. I love the girl's exuberant imagination. Would pair well with Not a Box by Antoinette Portis, Big Friends by Linda Sarah, Box: What Would You Do with a Box? by Min Flyte, and What To Do with a Box by Jane Yolen. 

Themes: Boxes, Boats, Imagination
