About this item
Explore ten incredible working boats—and discover how their crews, engines, and specialized equipment get important jobs done on the water.
“Boys and girls—and grown-ups—intrigued by the maritime world of the North Pacific will get much pleasure and a pack of insider knowledge from Tom Crestodina’s Working Boats.”
—The New York Times
Working Boats is an illustrated hardcover picture book that takes curious kids ages 4+ inside ten real watercraft through detailed cross sections, exploded views, and full-page scenes. Young readers will discover how each vessel works, what its crew does, and how its design helps it accomplish its unique mission.
Inside this fascinating boat book, kids will:
Go behind the scenes of a Coast Guard rescue Explore a science research vessel and learn about its mission Discover what it takes to work aboard a crabbing boat See how water moves through a fireboat Learn about radar, diesel engines, pumps, mechanics, and water-safety equipment Meet the hardworking people who operate boats and experience daily life on board
Combining maritime science, engineering, technology, and real-world careers, this fact-filled guide makes complex machinery engaging and easy to understand. Its intricate illustrations encourage children to study every page and make new discoveries with each reading.
A standout among boat books for kids, Working Boats is a memorable gift for boys and girls who love vehicles, machines, transportation, engineering, ocean adventures, or learning how things work. It makes a perfect gift for birthdays, Christmas, classroom libraries, homeschool learning, and family reading.
