A boat.
A big blue boat.
A big blue boat with billowing sails….
Seas are calm, as a Big Blue Boat and her Captain head out for a day’s sail.
Then winds strengthen and the sea starts to rollick and frolic.
What are a Big Blue Boat and her brave Captain going to do?
Will they find a safe harbour in time?
Early readers just love joining in with the fun wording, rhythm and rhyme that generate strong imagery in this award-winning story about a boat, a girl and the sea.
It even has a glossary and an activity to do!
Written for ages 4 – 8, if you and your child or grandchildren love Hairy Maclary, The Gruffalo and There Was an Old Lady, you are going to love A Big Blue Boat!
Reinforcing key early learning skills, teachers can incorporate A Big Blue Boat across the curriculum and will make a great learning source in the classroom.
‘A simple title for a book that delivers a lot of value in a picture book. The author employs rhyme, alliteration, onomatopoeia, descriptive adjectives, and sentence building to offer a host of learning opportunities for toddlers and preschoolers. The words are associated with the colors that represent them, each page adds more text so that as the book unfolds readers repeat and reinforce the learning. At the end of the book a glossary is included to remind young readers exactly what those “hard words” mean. The female captain is a role model for young girls unaccustomed to seeing females heading up the captain’s job. This book is one that will be read over and over, each time reinforcing and building upon the learning that has already taken place. Highly recommended for parents, teachers, and librarians who work with toddlers and preschoolers.’ Barbara Ann Mojica
