The Boat Alphabet Book

(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Biedrzycki. These two picture books feature some questionable choices--e.g., Boat uses "steamboat" instead of "submarine" for S and includes "submarine" under E for "electric boat." Also, sometimes the brief text is a bit esoteric or confusing--e.g., Boat uses "quffa" (a basket boat) for Q, noting it is often spelled with a g or a kh. For most young children, however, the striking pictures will command their attention.
