"This is bliss for any child who loves boats, for units on global transportation, or for anyone who has ever asked how this all works."--School Library Journal

Carolina acts as narrator, initially providing details about the process of docking and loading, while informative cutaway illustrations display the diverse cargo. Dong's clear, flat, geometrical digital illustrations also illuminate size."--The Horn Book Magazine
