The Ship That Flew

This has great repetition and would be a good one to do interactive activities with. The illustrations are beautiful to view and the award is understandable. I agree with another that the old woman's response was very negative and out of anger and an example of how not to act. But this story fits well with other personified animal stories we've read.

It is a great recommendation on the list within Memoria Press Junior Kindergarten.

This was my favorite kind of story when I was a little girl. If I'd been able to find a copy on the shelves of my library, I would have checked it out and read it over and over.

The Ship That Flew is the story of four siblings, two brothers and two sisters. One of the brothers, Peter, sees a ship in a shop window and buys it with “all the money he has,” a few coins. He soon learns the ship is magic and the children embark on a series of wonderful adventures, traveling to ancient Egypt, Norman England, the home of the Norse Gods, and many other exotic and delightful places.

This book is a wonderland of fun and adventure. I love this story.
