Alphabet books are common enough, but here’s one for children with a nautical turn of mind. The Boat Alphabet Book covers the waterfront with neat capsule descriptions and attractive color illustrations of each craft. Pallotta cleverly manages to come up with boats even for such tough letters as U (Umiak) and X (Xebec). If you don’t believe him, look them up—I did. Still one could have wished for a few more commonplace examples, like A for Ark or R for Rowboat.

Jerry Pallotta’s newest alphabet book features boats and ships, from the gigantic aircraft carrier to the one-person kayak. With characteristic wit and humor, the author explains basic nautical terms like hull, bow, and stern, and introduces more challenging topics, such as the workings of a steam engine. Young and old alike will want to get on board for this lavishly illustrated and informative trip through the alphabet.
—Boating for Beginners
The Boat Alphabet Book is a fine addition to Pallotta’s pack of alpha-books—and a great addition to any teacher’s transportation curriculum! Don’t miss this trip through boat history. Get on board with Jerry Pallotta!
