    Made from the wood of more than 1,000 trees, she weighs 1,576 tons and carries 44 guns. She's the largest, fastest fighting ship of her class - the Constitution. The beginnings of a fledgling country's navy took shape in the graceful lines of this frigate, whose strength under fire earned her the nickname "Old Ironsides." Follow young John Aylwin as he watches and helps in the construction of one of the most remarkable sailing ships ever built, from the selection of oaks for the masts to the casting of her three-ton cannon to the sewing of more than two acres of sail. The story of the birth of the Constitution is accompanied by drawings that are stunning in their elegance and detail, a fitting tribute to a majestic vessel....

    Barron's calls them "Chunky" books because they really are chunky! And they really are books, featuring extra-thick board pages—but when you close them, they're solid enough to stand right up like children's toy blocks. Also when closed, they're shaped to look like their titles—a toy car, plane, train, and boat. When toddlers open each book they'll find an entertaining little story about vehicles. The words are easy to understand, and the full-color illustrations on each page bring the story to life. When kids finish the story, they can close the covers and guide the vehicles around on the floor to create brand new stories of their own. Inside the vehicles' plastic headlights are black buttons that wiggle when moved and resemble comical eyes....

    A young girl describes her ferryboat ride as she travels to her summer island home: cars and trucks rattle onto the boat, a forklift brings heavy cartons aboard, the engines start to rumble and throb, and finally the captain blows his whistle and steers the ferry out of the harbor. Once the ferry is under way, the girl watches the water, feeds the gulls, and peers through the fog as the foghorn blasts. By the time the ferry pulls up to the island pier, readers will want to find a ferry of their own to ride. Simple, straightforward language and vibrant watercolor illustrations perfectly capture the magic of this unique form of transportation.
