Boats on the Bay is the perfect introduction to the bustling, beautiful world of the sea for toddlers and preschoolers.
Join author Jeanne W. Harvey for a charming, rhythmic look at all the different vessels that glide, float, and chug across the sparkling bay. Inspired by the San Francisco Bay but with universal appeal, the book features a spectacular double-spread gatefold finale showing a boat parade and fireworks glowing against a city backdrop.
From a fishing boat slogging through the fog to a ferry carrying passengers, boats onthe bay get ready for the day.
The simple, rhythmic text is perfect for reading aloud, making it an excellent resource for developing early literacy skills and building vocabulary, as well for celebrating a visit to the City by the Bay.
"This mini intro to our safe harbor is perfect run-up or follow-up for a leisurely stroll along the Embarcadero, bracing bike ride across the Golden Gate Bridge, or ferry tour around Alcatraz. Take-home message: Take notice." --San Francisco Chronicle
"A celebration of place and a catalogue of the kinds of vessels dear to the hearts of boat enthusiasts young and old." --Publishers Weekly
