I love this book for the way it grabs a child’s interest from the very start by using the big question of who sank the boat?

This question is repeated on every page, giving the story rhythm and predictability. Children love guessing who sank the boat and are engaged throughout the story. The reader can involve the child by asking questions like "Who do you think sank the boat and why?"

The story gains momentum with subtle suspense leading to the big reveal of who it was that sank the boat. The answer is both surprising and humorous.

From Rosie's list on read aloud shared reading with 3-6 year olds.
