This book is shelved as non-fiction, but it presents an opinion as a fact: "...there is nothing more beautiful than a ship and its lights on the sea at night. This is true. This is a factual book." I'm not upset about it. What a great way to start a discussion with kids about facts vs. opinions!

Dave Eggers once again brings a cheeky tone to an informational picture book.

Also, my 6yo is now demanding we live in a house boat. ( )
