Make Tracks: Boats

A groove cut into each page lets a child push a boat along its route, which is the mechanism the Make Tracks series is built on. Make Tracks: Boats sets sailing boats, rescue craft and other vessels on tracks that run across the spread, so the reading becomes something done with a finger rather than only with the eyes. Johnny Dyrander's illustrations carry short lines of text introducing each type of vessel and what it does on the water. Following a track demands the kind of controlled finger movement that comes before handwriting, and it gives restless toddlers a reason to stay on a page. Nosy Crow publishes it in sturdy board format. Made for small hands: • A physical track on every spread for a finger to follow • Sailing, working and rescue vessels introduced in short lines • Controlled finger movement that feeds into early writing skills • Board pages cut to hold the track without weakening Built for toddlers and preschoolers drawn to vehicles and water, this Nosy Crow interactive title illustrated by Johnny Dyrander is available at Boipoka.
