Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-10-Basic introductory titles with a format suitable for both elementary students and teens with lower reading abilities. Fishing aptly covers bait, boat, fly, and big-game fishing. Necessary equipment for each type of sport is clearly noted along with clarifying photographs. Specialized equipment needed for fly-fishing and the casting techniques for the different types of reels are also included. The final chapter discusses the perfect fishing spot, rigging, baiting, casting, catching, and releasing fish. In Boating, separate chapters address man-powered boats (rowboats, canoes, and kayaks), powerboats, and sailboats. Techniques for maneuvering in the water are also covered. The two pages of safety tips and glossaries included in each book are particularly helpful. The clear, full-color photographs depict adults of both genders. Recommended primarily for libraries needing high-interest titles.

The book Boating for Essential Teen is very interesting even though the book was only a short read it was still a great book.I enjoyed it because i like boating and it talks about what kind of boat for its situation.The author is luke thonpson he has alos written other books for teens. In the book there are 5 different kinds of boats, there are row boats,motor canoes, kayaks and sail boats.In each chap[ter it tells about the parts of each kind of boat and how you are supposed to use them when. If you like to read about boating you will not want to put it down.
