Reader Reviews I purchased this boat book for my nephew based on how the book was rated age wise, which was for 4 to 8 year old children. This book is packed with so much wonderful knowledge on different kinds of boats! I just, believe that a 6 year old would get so more out of the book. This book could be used for younger boat lovers if you just read the why type of boat it is and move on, I don't really see my nephew sitting down and paying attention. Plus most are boats he's not familiar with or would ever see here in Florida. The art work is well done and looks very realistic. Here is a list of the boats featured in this book. A - Aircraft Carrier B - Barkentine ( tall ship) C - Canoe D - Dory E - Electric boat ( submarine) F - Ferry G - Gondola H - Hydrofoil I - Icebreaker J - Junk ( Chinese Junk boat) K - Kayak L- Lightship M - Minesweeper N - Nao (possible Spanish word for boat, no one knows for sure) O - Ocean Liner P- Paddleboat Q- Quffa (basket boat found on the Tigris & Euphrates Rivers) R - Reed Boat S - Steamboat T - Tanker U - Umiak ( a traditional woman's Eskimo boat) V - Viking Ship W- Windjammer X - Xebec ( 3 masted ship) Y- Yatch Z - Zodiac Update on my review: I had to change my prior review because I gave this book to my nephew and he ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! We happened to be at a restaurant for a family breakfast and painted on the wall happened to be a cruise ship( Ocean Liner in the book) we looked at that page and he was absolutely fasinated during the whole breakfast! This will definately be a book he will grow into especially on some of the boats he does not know about. The age range for this book is correctly rated. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
