Description

Made of steel, / colossal, / strong, / I ship around the world.

Come aboard a massive container ship as it pulls into port, loads up with cargo, and heads out to the open ocean. The ship's voyage includes starry skies and stormy seas, swift currents and unforeseen delays. Through it all, the crew keeps working--with goods to keep the world going, they must carry on.

Rhythmic text from Kelly Rice Schmitt and delightfully detailed illustrations from Jam Dong provide a riveting look at the journey of one mighty ship.

Reviews

"An informative peek at our global infrastructure's major lifeline." --Kirkus Reviews

"Readers follow every step of the (fictional) container ship Carolina, which is carrying freight from a port in Asia to delivery in France. 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

"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
