The Little Green Boat by Chris Stead Book Review

The everyday activities of Willy Nilly spiral into epic adventures as his wild imagination blends with reality and we see the world through a child’s eyes. In this, his first adventure, a trip to the beach takes an interesting turn when Willy Nilly finds a little green boat. Upon jumping in for a play, a giant wave takes him out to sea. Stranded, he enlists the help of some dolphins, who carry him to a secret island where he finds a treasure map leading to a great prize. If only he can brave the crocodiles, bats, monkeys and other dangers on the way. About the Author:  Writing has been a part of Chris Stead’s life since he was very young. In fact, he won the “creative writing” award way back in Year 3 at school as a seven-year-old. During his senior school years, Chris wrote constantly, be it stories while he was sitting at his desk in class not concentrating on the teacher, or writing up news reports on all the sports and experiences the kids in his local neighbourhood enjoyed every day. Fast forward a little and Chris’ media career could only be described as diverse. Spanning publications and clients as broad as Maxim Men’s Magazine to the University of NSW to Game Informer Australia and Krash Kids Magazine he has spent 20+ years writing and editing across the Australian media industry. In 2014, Chris launched a new chapter in his writing life. He founded his own company, Old Mate Media, and launched the first of a range of children’s books in The Wild Imagination of Willy Nilly series. Chris’s vision for the company is that other aspiring writers who would like to create their own publications – no matter what the topic – will enlist Old Mate Media to help them turn their dream into a reality. Website My review; "The Little Green Boat" is an adorable children's book. The author Chris Stead has taken his character Willy Nilly on a great adventure. He is at the beach and this is where he finds a green boat. Willy  wants to have fun with the boat but it is taken out to sea, along with him. Then Willy starts on his adventure and he meets some great characters that help him on his way. He meets monkeys, dolphins and more. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for a review and these opinions are mine.
