Why read it?

1 author picked Ahoy! as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I loved this book because it is such an authentic, joyful picture of childhood play!

It's imaginative, funny, and relatable--I mean, as a kid who wasn't pretending at some point that they were on a boat while a storm was coming! It feels very real-life to me, and I love the immersive feel of the illustrations.
