Brilliant BOATS by Tony Mitton and Ant Parker

Boats are really brilliant for sailing us around. They travel through the water with a sloppy-slappy sound. It's fun to go out boating, especially in the sun. The water's cool and sparkly, so come on everyone!

A boat sits on the water like an empty bowl or cup. It's hollow and it's full of air, and that's what keeps it up. An anchor holds you steady when you're bobbing in a bay. You wind a chain to raise it when you want to sail away.

Over lakes and seas and rivers, wind blows very strong. Some boats have sails to catch it, so it pushes them along. To manage boats with masts and sails, you need a clever crew. The captain is the one in charge, who tells them what to do.

A dinghy or a rowing boat is useful near the shore. You make it travel backwards by pulling on each oar.
