A nautical ABC – a bracing book for young children everywhere.
A is for adventure that’s waiting for you
The next time you want to sail into the blue...

This maritime ABC breathes a real blast of fresh air into the genre. From A for Anchor and B for Buoy, from C for Cruise Ship to D for Dolphins and Zzzz for bedtime, Virginie Morgand’s gloriously illustrated book is a wonderful introduction to all things nautical for young children. Her drawings successfully combine a sixties feel with the intensity of animated cinema, bringing the pictures to life page after page.

Press Reviews

Jaunty rhyming couplets give the feel of a sea shanty - this is an excellent example of how to combine style *and* substance
