Hopper and Wilson by Maria Van Lieshout - ADVISABLE

Hopper and WilsonVan Lieshout, Maria Hopper and Wilson.  Philomel Books, 2011. $16.99.  PICTURE BOOK.  Hopper and Wilson decide to sail on a paper boat to the end of the world.  They wonder wonder what they will find.  But then, when a storm comes, and the water gets choppy, they have to fight for their lives and for each other's life.What will happen to Hopper and Wilson?  This is a cute book, with characters that we can't help but care about.  It is simple, and yet the ending is clever.  I think it's a great addition to most libraries.  Pre-K, EL(K-3) -ADVISABLE.
