Sal Boat by Thyra Heder*

 Despite scoffing and questions from friends and family, Sal is determined to build a boat so he can be out on the water on the waves by himself. He gathers materials from various places and people around town. He doesn't want anyone's help. He, however, has forgotten one vital part of boating.

I loved the extra dialogue handwritten in the illustrations and Sal's creativity.

Considerations: His parents are divorced; written in one illustration is the song "---bottles of beer on the wall..."

*Highly recommend.

-Borrowed from the library.
