Bookroo's summary

On a lively dock, boats of every color and shape zoom by, each arriving at a different time. As a purple speedboat appears at six o'clock, the anticipation builds—what boat will come next, and at what time? This vibrant journey not only entertains but subtly teaches preschoolers about colors and time, inviting them to guess and learn with each new arrival. With sturdy pages and engaging activities, this book promises endless fun and learning for little ones.

From the publisher

“Eye-catching images help kids master time and colors….Useful and attractive introductions to several important concepts.”–Kirkus ReviewsI spent the dayOn the dockAnd who zoomed upAt six o’clock?A purple speedboat.A day on the dock is never dull when boats of all shapes, sizes, and colors are zooming on by! Indulge your preschoolers love for boats while also subtly teaching them about colors and time! Who zoomed up at six o’clock? A purple speedboat! What boat will arrive next? What time will it be?Victoria Allenby adds another kid-tastic instalment to the Big, Little Concept Books collection that has already graced story times with the Mathical Book Prize honor book Shape Up, Construction Trucks!, the sound-celebrating Listen Up! Train Song, and the most recent Look Up High! Things that Fly. Like its predecessors, this book features a closing note to caregivers with age-appropriate enrichment activities to extend both the learning and the fun. But they needn’t worry about handing the whole thing over to their children, since the padded cover, rounded corners, and extra-sturdy paper of this Toddler Tough format can endure many a rough reading.
