Collins s debut picture book is both serene and magical. Readers are transported to another world following a boy as he sets off in a sailboat that somehow turns into a book. As he journeys, he reads the pages and his expedition begins. When he has finished reading, the boy becomes the book. He encounters dolphins, jelly fish, and pirates. Illustrations are drawn with soft muted colors in a dreamlike state; they are perfectly matched with the tone of the story as well as visually appealing to the eye. A lyrical addition, especially for bedtime reading.</p>--Megan McGinnis, Sachem Public Library, Holbrook, NY School Library Journal
