Embark on a voyage of discovery across the seven seas! From enormous cruise ships glittering in the evening light to incredible submarines exploring the depths of the ocean, boats reveal to us the secrets, stories and histories of our world. Read about big battles, amazing adventures, vast voyages and calamitous catastrophes. Characterful felt-tip illustrations and curious facts combine in this gift-worthy non-fiction book of boats. All aboard!
This transport-themed non-fiction book offers a comprehensive journey through different types of boats and ships, from coracles to cruise ships, from ancient to modern and with origins all around the world. The book also covers many different uses of boats, including their role in migration, both past and present.
The illustrations are clear, colourful and include labels. The text is limited to one or two paragraphs for each double-page spread, with the illustrations communicating most of the information and doing so very effectively. This makes it a very accessible information book. The book will appeal to KS1 children with an interest in the topic and is a reference book to return to.
A resource pack provided by the publisher to accompany the book The Big Book of Boats.
