The Ship's Log

By Sandra Travis Bildahl

The Ship's Log encourages kids to write down what they see and feel and hear when they are boating, it prompts them to think about what's on and in the sea around them, it jars their interest in keeping track of shoreside activities they experience, and it creates a good habit for future navigation by teaching them to keep track of where they have been and where they are going.Colorful and educational, The Ship’s Log for Kids will give your young first mates the opportunity to write their impressions of their sea voyages while they learn valuable lessons about the sea and boating.

These books were created for Weems and Plath and is available through amazon.com.
