You could say Amos is a bit too focused on details (he remembers to take a yo-yo on his trip but not a radio). Here, with apparent ease and concealed virtuosity, Caldecott medalist William Steig brings two winning heroes to life. The tender yet comical story of this friendship is recorded in text and pictures that are a model of rich simplicity. But there will come a day, long after Boris has gone back to a life of whaling about and Amos has gone back to his life of mousing around, when the tiny mouse must find a way to rescue the great whale. They meet after Amos sets out to sea in his homemade boat, the “Rodent,” and soon finds himself in extreme need of rescue.

The story takes place on a beach and the top of the sea. The Symbolism of Trains In Literature | SLAP HAPPY LARRY
