Content
Like all other vehicles, ships are a great fascination for two to four year olds, but there are few books on the subject addressed to them. What does the inside of a ship look like? Who steers it? Where is the anchor? Who helps shipwrecked people? There are many kinds of boats on our rivers and seas. What do they transport, and how is so much traffic controlled? Where are such big ships built? Wonderful illustrations, clear text, and fun flaps let young land rats become captains.
