Dive into the magical world of the seaside with this cherished picture book crafted by the two - time Caldecott Medal winner, Sophie Blackall. It offers a timeless, nautical journey that takes readers right to the shore! Watch as days turn into seasons, with the wind gusting, fog creeping in, and icebergs floating by. Outside the lighthouse, water stretches as far as the eye can see. Inside, experience the cozy daily life of a lighthouse keeper and his family. The keeper boils water for a warm cup of tea, lights the lamp's wick, and carefully records every detail in his logbook. Step back in time and enter this iconic lighthouse, which has a charming, dollhouse - like interior, thanks to the amazing artistry of Sophie Blackall. Ideal for kids aged 4 - 8 years, it comes in a 48 - page print.
This picture book is really easy to use. Just sit back, relax, and start flipping through the pages. Let your imagination run wild as you explore the lighthouse and its surroundings. When reading to younger kids, take your time to explain the pictures and the story. It's a great way to bond and stimulate their creativity. As for storage, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the pages from fading. Also, be gentle when handling the book to avoid tearing the pages. This book is a precious keepsake, so treat it well and enjoy many readings together.
