Description

A lively story with humorous illustrations, ideal for children who are beginning to read for themselves, or for reading aloud together.
A lively, rhyming story with irresistibly funny illustrations and phonic repetition specially designed to help children learn to read. Goat rows his boat around the moat. He sits and gazes at his float. It sinks. He blinks. A fish! he thinks. Simple rhyming text helps children develop essential language and early reading skills, and there are guidance notes for parents at the back of the book.

Author Bio

Sam Taplin grew up in a beautiful valley in Yorkshire, where he dreamed of being a writer, and after three years reading other people's books at university he started writing his own for Usborne. He's been doing it ever since. When he's not writing about lonely rabbits or inquisitive bears, he likes doing card tricks, writing songs and playing long games of chess by the fire.
