It's tough looking for a book that is about boats! My nephews birthday was fast approaching and I still hadn't found a book on boats until I happened upon this book! What I love about this book is that it's about all sorts of boats from dinghys to race boats the author Tony Mitton pretty much mentioned every type of boat that floats, except a Chinese Junk or a cannoe! And he some how managed to make each sentence rythm as well.The characters aren't too cutesty, so boys and girls should like this book a lot! There is lots of terrific information and on the last page has drawn pictures and a mini explaination for words like lighthouse, anchor, propeller, oars, deck, cabin, name and cargo.
To give you as small taste of this wonderfully written book - " A boat sits on the water like an empty bowl or cup. It's hollow and it's full of air, and that's what keeps it up." Pretty clever!

Recently bought this book for my 2.5 year old son because his grandpa lives and breathes boats and we wanted him to enjoy "learning" more about boats! This book is fun to read with the rhyming words, but even more importantly it is ACCURATE in teaching about boats. My son learns about oars, dingys, anchors, propellers, and even life jackets (which are a requirement in our family). Great way to learn boating vocabulary about ferries, cruise ships, family boats, kayaks, etc. Highly recommend!
