5.0 out of 5 stars All aboard Barton's "Boats", November 11, 2001
This review is from: Boats Board Book (Board book)
"Boats," by Byron Barton, is a good book for beginning readers. Like others by this author, the book combines simple text with illustrations in Barton's trademark style: bright, solid colors and simplified, almost iconic figures.

Barton depicts a rowboat, sailboat, fire department boat, ferry, cruise ship, and other vessels. The boats are actually shown in action. A nice touch is that the passengers and crew are people of different colors and ethnic appearances. Sample text: "There goes a fishing boat out to sea." A colorful and educational book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bright colors and big pictures, September 4, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Boats Board Book (Board book)
I suggest Amazon.com to reconsider their age rating for this book. Toddler to 3 years might be more approriate. This being said however, my toddler boy loves this book. He goes wild over the bright colors and big bright pictures. The great thing is that the book introduces one new boat per page while keeping the previous boat displayed in the background. This way the child is able to see what happens to the other boat while being introduced to a new one. The Text is easy and plain "here comes a rowing boat" style, leaving plenty of room to create ones own stories.
I recommend this book for small children.

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter adores this book! She's worn it out!, June 7, 2007
This review is from: Boats Board Book (Board book)
My husband, who loves naval history, bought this book for our daughter when she was one year old. Since then, it has become one of her prized possessions. I've had to buy another copy, because she's spilled milk all over it and the pages have stuck solid.

The bright colors, dark print and overlapping scenarios keep her engrossed. Definitely a great book to have for your toddler.
