Goodreads Summary
A sailing adventure featuring a girl, her dog, and their boat, complete with a “Ship Slang” glossary and diagram of a real bark shipBonnie lass, bark sailor on a bark ship cast off, set sail, chase sea tales, befriend whales, scope islands, outwit squalls, and make it home in time to slip back into the slip and sleep, in this delightfully salty tale of a girl, her dog, and a boat.
My Thoughts
I did not know what a bark ship was prior to reading this book. Thankfully there is a diagram of a bark ship as well as a glossary of "ship slang" at the end of the book.
The lyrical text is full of these slang and many more rich vocabulary terms that can be explored with children.
The illustrations are simple and colorful, each page with a nautical feel. This book could make a nice addition to an ocean or boating unit.
