The Big Book of Boats


It's my turn on the Non-Fiction November blog tour and I'm delighted to be sharing the
Big Book of Boats with everyone.

Literally a big book, this is a fascinating voyage of discovery into boats of all shapes and sizes.  Covering boats through history as well as boats for underwater travel as well as boats we cruise on, this book has everything.


As well as the wonderfully detailed illustrations, I particularly like the factual details and annotations which help to impart further information.  


And if that isn't enough, then the publisher has extra resources available on their website here , including more about boats resources, colouring sheets and even an educational resource pack.

This book has been sitting in the non-fiction corner of my classroom since it arrived and it has been hugely popular.  I've loved seeing groups of children pouring over its pages, discussing the details and their own observations.

Whether this is a book for home or for school, the Big Book of Boats will make a great addition to anybody's book collection.
