Description
With lyrical (and factual!) text by Caldecott Honor winner and New York Times bestselling author Toni Buzzeo, and the stylized art of Tom Froese, Whose Boat? is a sturdy board book that’s perfect for curious and playful young readers.
Smoke billows up.
Cool water flows.
Whose boat is that?
Do you know?
This nonfiction ode to boats features six kinds of workers and their boats—a patrol boat, a tugboat, a car ferry, a lobster boat, a lifeboat, and a fireboat—with important parts properly labeled. The answer to each inquiring refrain lies under a gatefold, engaging the reader in an informative guessing game.
A Guess-the-Job Book series:
Whose Tools?
Whose Truck?

Whose Boat?

She lives in Arlington, Massachusetts, in a two-family home where her grandchildren live one flight up.
