Zoey's Big Boat Trip Alexander T Rooker

Zoey, the Pomeranian girl dog, tells her story about traveling the Intracoastal Waterway on board her family's 34 feet long sailing catamaran. Grandparents will particularly enjoy reading the story to their pre-school grandkids. Fifty two images cover aspects of boat travel and activities on shore. Though intended to primarily be read for entertainment, images and the story line can be used to create educational opportunities. Zoey mentions, for example, the need for life jackets- even for dogs. Two sentence structures have been employed to make it easy for a reader to adapt the story to fit the listener's level of comprehension- and attention span. Large black fonts are used for the words of the main story. Standard blue fonts are used for the "filler words" which expand the sentences.
