Young Ben sets out to explore the river equipped with a sturdy boat, some sample-collection gear, and his scientific curiosity. Along the way he meets a black bear taking a swim, a moose all wobbly and slim, a goose with a gorgeous grin, and a heron all proper and prim…but things really start happening after the owl HOOs loudly on a whim.
Why I like this book: This Is the Boat That Ben Built shows Ben on the river seeing different animals. This journey highlights the ecosystem of a river in a relatable way.
