Mister Magnolia

BLAKE, QUENTIN

Amazon.com Review\nOne fine morning Mr. Gumpy decides it's a perfect day for an outing in his little boat. Apparently, plenty of others think so, too. First some children ask to join him, then a rabbit, a cat, a dog, a pig, a sheep... Soon, Mr. Gumpy's boat is precariously full, and there's nowhere for anyone else to go--but overboard! This mild mariner takes everything in stride, though, and his guests are soon bellying up to a nice tea. 
John Burningham earned the Kate Greenaway Medal, an ALA Notable Children's Book award, and the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Mr. Gumpy's Outing, and it's no wonder. This gifted and highly original author-illustrator creates a vision of glorious summer with deeply textured, sometimes only suggested, drawings. His tentatively questioning animals are ready to step right out of the pages and quietly join the delighted reader. And the simple, repetitive dialogue will lull the listener as long as it takes the characters to reach the boat's maximum capacity. Even then, there's no big splash--just an understated, Burningham-esque "and into the water they fell." Young readers will never tire of this gentle, comforting storybook. (Ages 2 to 6) --Emilie Coulter\nFOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. Mr. Gumpy accepts more and more riders on his boat, until the inevitable occurs.\nFrom Publishers Weekly\nDespite Mr. Gumpy's warnings to the multitudinous animals and children on his barge, the outing turns soggy when the boat capsizes. Ages 2-6. 
Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.\nFrom Booklist\nAges 2-5. The wonderful drawings from a 1970 classic translate well to this new board-book version. Mr. Grumpy is planning a boat trip down the river, and children and animals want to join him. He agrees to take each guest, as long as there's no hopping, chasing, mucking, teasing, trampling, and so on. Of course, once the children, the goat, the calf, the chickens, the sheep, the pig, the dog, the cat, and the rabbit are all aboard, mayhem breaks out, and the boat tips. But Mr. Grumpy rises above his name and takes everyone home for tea, with an invitation, "Come for a ride another day." In this format, the charming, sketchy illustrations still show great detail, and the text, with its entertaining, cumulative lists of animals, is printed in easy-to-follow, large brown type to win over a new set of preschoolers.
