Description

We Go on a Ferry describes the experience of taking a ferry, starting with buying a ticket and boarding the vessel. The book uses large, clear photos to show each step of the trip, from checking safety gear to crossing the water. The text is written for second-grade readers, and it has "Good to Know" boxes that share extra facts about ferry operations. The goal of the book is to teach young readers what to expect when they ride a ferry.

Quick Summary

From the moment the ferry's horn blares, the book lets kids feel the rumble of the deck and the spray of the water, turning a simple boat ride into a lively, sensory experience. Bright, clear pictures show trucks, cars, and gulls as the ferry glides across the water, making each page a mini field trip full of sights and sounds. If your child loves the rhythmic, educational style of "The Little Engine That Could", they'll be thrilled by this ferry trip. Perfect for children ages 4 to 7, this Level 2.1 reader fits nicely into kindergarten and early first grade classrooms.
