This book goes through the alphabet with word examples that relate to sailors and their lives at sea. This book is a great supplemental book to English/Language Arts in that it builds vocabulary by introducing children to new terms and definitions using the alphabet and rhyming patterns they may already be familiar with. Another for my alphabet book collection. The text is a sea chantey from the 1800's, along with explanations of the terms. McCurdy's illustrations are very fine, with some stunning perspectives. At the end of the book is an image of a frigate, with all the parts named in the song labeled. There is great attention to detail, as evidenced by the simple image of a compass rose on the back cover. Very nice indeed. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
One of many variations of a forecastle chantey created about 1837 by an unknown sailor and named after the bow section of the ship where sailors sometimes bunked or relaxed. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This is a great book for readers of all ages, who may be curious to know about the many parts of a U.S. Navy frigate. There is a diagram included in the back that labels all the separate parts, in case one is still curious after the detailed and clear illustrations that accompany the song. Certain words like, "gaff", "jib", "mizzen peak", and "grog", which lack explanation in the song, are also elucidated by definitions. A wonderful book for adults and children alike! ( )
