Review: This book was so sweet.  After Jonathan loses his best friend, he sets off on a boat to search for him.  Along the way, he meets all sorts of characters who end up joining him–only to find his best friend, a stuffed animal, in somebody else’s possession.  So he invites them along, too.  It’s just a heartfelt story full of adventure and loss and kindness, and Stead’s illustrations are vibrant and fun.  All around, this book is captivating and will certainly keep your attention.
