Illustrated by
Mick Wiggins.
This companion to Trucks Roll! and Planes Fly! introduces children to tugboats, sailboats, canoes, steamboats, and more. The buoyant rhymes are factually informative--packed as they are with maritime terminology--and giddily unpredictable. Some lines play up poetic imagery; others are child-pleasingly jocular or mind-expanding. The digital, sun-bathed illustrations have the look of vintage European travel posters.
