Ages 8-12
by Raymond Stone
Tommy Tiptop is the born leader of his neighborhood and is always getting up ideas, teams, projects, trips, etc. This time he forms a boat club. He's a nervy and responsible little lad and of course everything goes very well indeed. In the process of telling the story of the young boat club and their first big race, Stone also manages to insert some highly useful and good advice regarding water safety; not just on boats but for all youngsters who might venture near the water, either to swim or sightsee. The advice on what to do if you fall in accidentally is especially good. All very good sugaring of the pill! First published in 1914.
Available with character customization; Tommy Tiptop's name, replaced with your son/grandson/nephew's name.
