on a voyage across the sea. Folding out to nearly 2.5 metres,
children can look at all the different things the ship sees on its
way, as it chugs past fishing vessels, a tanker and a humongous
cruise ship, alongside leaping dolphins and shoals of flying fish,
through the high, choppy waves of a lightning storm, and finally
reaching its own little harbour. Playful text guides the journey,
providing fun shared experience and conversation starter for
parents and young children. The reverse side of the concertina
features spot illustrations picked out from the main scene, with a
more expansive information about each element, from ships to ocean
life.
