Whose Boat?

Description

Smoke billows up. Cool water flows. Whose boat is that? Do you know? This nonfiction ode to boats features six kinds of workers and their boats - a patrol boat, a tugboat, a car ferry, a lobster boat, a lifeboat, and a fireboat - with important parts properly labeled. The answer to each inquiring refrain lies under a gatefold, engaging the reader in an informative guessing game. With lyrical (and factual!) text by New York Times-bestselling author Toni Buzzeo, and the stylized art of Tom Froese, this sturdy board book is perfect for curious and playful young readers.

Toni Buzzeo's first two books in the series, Whose Tools? and Whose Truck?, have sold more than fifty thousand copies. Toni is the author of the 2013 Caldecott Honor Book and New York Times bestseller One Cool Friend, as well as many other books for children. A former elementary school librarian and secondary teacher, she now presents at schools, national and international library and reading conferences, and in district and regional staff development trainings. Buzzeo lives with her husband in Arlington, Massachusetts. Tom Froese is a commercial artist. His work can be seen in retail stores and publications including Monocle, Harvard Business Review, and Wired UK. He lives in Canada.

"Another excellent board book from well-known children's author Toni Buzzeo, Whose Boat? takes sea-minded kiddos on an accurate tour of different aquatic vessels. For urbanites who travel frequently by ferry-hello there, New York City, Seattle, and San Francisco-this will be a welcome addition to your child's library." -- Curbed
