This is a perfect book for young children. It's got animals, imaginative drawings, repetitiveness, and a little humor.

Mr. Gumpy takes a ride in his small boat on the river. What happens when the children, rabbit, cat, dog, and other animals decide to join him?

Kind Mr Gumpy agrees to take the children and some animals for a boat ride. Everything goes well for a little while, then chaos ensues in this classic children's picture book.

This is a wonderful book! I love reading it (probably best to read it in a British accent ;)) and my daughter loves hearing it.
