The seas are calm and the winds gently blowing when a Big Blue Boat and her Captain head out for a day's sail. As the winds strengthen, and the sea starts to rollick and frolic, will our Big Blue Boat and her Captain make it safely back to shore? Parents looking for picture books about boats or picture books about sailing will fall in love with A Big Blue Boat. Children will love joining in with the rhythm and rhyme in this cumulative story about a boat, a girl and the rollicking frolicking sea. In the tradition of There Once Was A Lady Who Swallowed a Fly and One Day in the Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Tree, The Big Blue Boat takes readers on an ever-growing rhyming song in this yarn about boats for early readers and pre - schoolers. The Big Blue Boat also features a female captain, making it a great option for those looking for books about sailing for girls as well as picture books about boats. All families interested in sailing and boats will love this fun-filled adventure. After all, who better to write boat stories for girls, than an author living on a boat? Beloved by educators, The Big Blue Boat reinforces key early learning skills. "From a teacher's perspective, and thinking about literacy skills, the repetition is really great, as it helps children access reading of some key words along with the adult reader." Dr Kathryn Macfarlane (teacher and children's author)
