Read Aloud Questions

1. Do you have a toy or a stuffed animal that you always like to be with? How does that toy/animal make you feel?

2. The little toy boat looked out at the big boats gliding across the lake and wondered what it would be like to sail free.

→ Close your eyes for a moment and pretend you are the little boat longing to sail free. How do you feel?

3. What do you think about the way that the speedboat spoke to the little toy boat?

4. Stop for an enriching vocabulary experience when the “humble little fishing” boat appears.

→ Ask: “What do you think humble means?”

→ We would explain that the fishing boat is able to be humble because it too has experienced being pushed around on the lake. The fishing boat, although it is physically much bigger than the little toy boat, knows what it feels like to be small inside and is ready to help the little toy boat find its way home.

5. At the end of the story, we encourage you to share and exchange stories about times when you have felt small, but discovered that you could still be brave.

6. Boat Match:

→ Refer to these images of different types of boats and see if you can find any of them in "Toy Boat."

OMG endless entertainment
"This is the book club I never knew I needed!! My kids keep asking "when can we make a boat again??" and running around making boat noises. I've never seen them get so into a book, and have such creativity with ways to read/play with it!"
