Reviews

K-Gr 3-In this third book in the series, a boy learns about boats and ocean travel as he and his parents ferry toward their vacation location. As they cross the water, the boy asks questions about the variety of ships they see. The colorful captions that appear on each spread contain answers about buoyancy, houseboats, submarines, container ships, and sailboats. Labels help identify the less familiar boats (ketch, sampan) and the parts of a ship (bridge, radar). Children can spend a lot of time looking for the humorous situations and the hidden numbers and birds in each scene. This book is not suitable as a read-aloud because there are too many word balloons and short conversations going on in the background, but youngsters who enjoy the busyness of Richard Scarry or "Where's Waldo?" books will pore over this oversize volume.-Tanya Boudreau, Cold Lake Public Library.AB, Canadaα(c) Copyright 2013.

From the Everything Goes series, this large-format picture book follows a boy and his parents traveling by ferry. They watch the boats in the bustling harbor and observe many more during their crossing. Dialogue balloons, labels, and fact boxes carry the text. With a slender strand of story and plenty of information about many types of watercraft, this picture book straddles the thin line between fiction and nonfiction. The digital artwork features bold, beefy line drawings, bright with color and full of witty details for attentive kids to enjoy. Large illustrations show the whole, parts, and interiors of various vessels. Mesmerizing fare for young boat fans. Preschool-Grade 2. --Carolyn Phelan
