Customer Reviews

Ships

This book is about every ship you can think of. It tells what they look like and what they are made of. My favorite boat in this book is the Titanic. I like it because it is very cool and has a long story about its life. The illustations are great. They are very specific and detailed. I think all kids would like this book a lot because of the illustations and charts.

My six year old brought this book home from the library and doesn't want to take it back! It may be geared for older children but he is enjoying it immensely. I find it very well written with a wealth of information on all types of ships from the beginning vessels to shipwrecks. We are purchasing this book because he has asked us to buy it from the library!
