Ferry Boat
Booklist
From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.
Children are invited to join a family on a trip to and from Manhattan on the Staten Island Ferry. The boarding process is traced step-by-step: first, they enter the gate, then go up the escalator, watch the walkway come down, and go aboard. The text is minimal, and the vibrant illustrations, done in digital woodcut, are meticulously accurate in their portrayals of the sights en route and the size of the ferry and its seemingly endless windows, capable of accommodating a multitude of passengers. The understated artwork depicts people from all sorts of different backgrounds, highlighting the diversity of the New Yorkers and tourists aboard the ferry. Small illustrations in the back matter identify the key sights. Readers will enjoy the photograph of the author aboard the ferry at age five. This entry in the I Like to Read series will give children a helpful introduction to a vibrant city--and, for New York--based kids, a fun idea for an iconic outing.
