About the Book

Join a child captain and parent first mate as they embark on a wild high seas adventure... all without leaving the living room! This imaginative romp of a picture book is filled with glorious illustrations from a beloved Caldecott Medalist and New York Times bestselling creator. Raise the mainsail! Batten the hatches! It's time to set sail... on the couch! There's a storm coming, and a child is ready to captain the ship. Make haste and climb aboard, they call out to their parent, before you're swept out to sea!& Sea? What sea? The parent is only trying to vacuum the rug. But the child is adamant. It's not a rug--it's the ocean. And that broom? It's the ship's mast. Soon enough, child and parent are both off on an imaginary nautical adventure! Here is a thoroughly engaging, hilarious picture book that celebrates the joys of playing make-believe--and hanging out with a parent!
