Guide Review - Book Review: My First Picture Book of Boating Words
Children love reading picture books, and they are endlessly fascinated with marine animals, boats, and things commonly seen around the water. This book will be one of the books your preschooler will enjoy having around.
I have a five year old son who loved the book. He enjoys going through it and learning about boats and boating and comparing the book with what he knows or has seen while out on excursions with us. My daughter, who loves boats as well, but is seven years old, didn't have as much interest in it. I attribute that to her already knowing much of what the book seeks to teach.
All in all, this is a good little book for four - six year olds, maybe even for children younger than four years old as they learn to talk and have an insatiable curiosity about the things around them.
