Toy Boat by Randall deSeve

This story, beautifully illustrated by Loren Long,  gives life to a small boat that ventures away from his boy one day. In the wake of larger, faster boats on the lake, the toy boat feels lost and scared, but mostly alone.

While it focuses on the adventure of the toy, I loved that it showed the connection between the boy and his beloved boat. Children will connect with the boat's feelings, but also with the boy at the thought of losing a favorite toy.

* Don't worry-this one has a wonderful, happy ending.
