With simple sentences children are introduced to a new world of transportation vehicles. From military boats, submarines and aircraft cruisers, to pleasure craft, jet skis, sailboats, canoes, dinghies, and kayaks, are described briefly. Some historical boats, such as Viking longboats, barques, and riverboats are portrayed, also. With explanations of exotic boats like Venetian gondolas and Chinese junks children travel to distant lands and open their horizons. The various uses of such boats as ferries, barges, and tugboats are shown. Even the specialized jobs of fireboats and rescue boats are discussed.
