When introducing young children to the world of boating, all that seafaring lingo can seem just a tad overwhelming. Help the littlest sailors in your life learn this new vocabulary the easy way with My First Picture Book of Boating. Written by Nicholas J. Argo and published by Little Harbor Publishing in November 2007, its 24 full-color pages feature the names and photographs of objects and terms associated with boating and the water: buoy, life jacket, binoculars, bow, stern, marina, harbor, dinghy, anchor and more. Argo, a boater himself, covers powerboats, sailboats, fishing and water-related items. If you want your youngster to master the difference between port and starboard, this book is a great place to start.
