A little boy has a toy boat. He made it out of a can, a cork, a yellow pencil, and some white cloth. The boy and his boat are inseparable, until one day when the wind pushes the toy boat out into the wide lake. Alone now, the little boat must face fierce waves, a grumpy ferry, a sassy schooner, and a growling speed boat. How the little boat misses the boy! But if he is going to survive, he must figure a way to do it on his own. Loren Long has a timeless and magical touch. As he did with The Little Engine That Could, he creates a world of toys and children that go right to the soul. The Toy Boat will sail into young hearts and stay there forever. Ages 4-8.

在作者兰德尔·德·塞弗的书桌上，摆放着故事中的这艘玩具船，那是她和女儿波林娜共同的成果。而在画家罗伦·隆的心里，也清晰地保存着对于纸船游戏的童年记忆。是童年的魅力把两位作者一道带人了玩具船的故事中，而故事也将反过来滋润那孕育了它的永恒的童年。
