Look inside an amazing ferry in this board book shaped like a boat!

This richly illustrated, die-cut board book, inspired by the bestselling picture book Working Boats, explores a day in the life of a working boat: a passenger ferry! Page by page, each important part of the boat is revealed to show how it works, and how each part contributes to the important job the boat has. Nautically curious toddlers will pore over each page to discover what it looks like in the engine room, the pilothouse, and even the complex maze of pumps and pipes!

Born in the midwest, artist Tom Crestodina has been working as a fisherman in Alaska for more than 20 years and studied marine engineering at the Seattle Maritime Academy. After the birth of his first child with his wife, Ania, he began making cutaway drawings of the vessels he was working on as a way to communicate with his small child while he was at sea. After other seafarers began to ask for drawings of their own vessels, he went on to document the maritime trades in his whimsical style, and his work is now carried in shops and and galleries all over the Pacific coast of North America. He lives in Bellingham, Washington, with Ania and their two children. Discover his art on his website TheScow.BigCartel.com.
