A boat. A big blue boat. A big blue boat with billowing sails.... Seas are calm, winds gently blowing, when a Big Blue Boat and her Captain head out for a day's sail. Then winds strengthen and the sea starts to rollick and frolic. What are a Big Blue Boat and her brave Captain going to do? Will they find a safe harbour in time? Early readers just love joining in with the fun wording, rhythm and rhyme that generate strong imagery in this award-winning story about a boat, a girl and the sea. It even has a glossary and an activity to do! Reinforcing key early literacy skills can even be incorporated across the curriculum and will make a great learning resource in the classroom.
