Really nice story. Perfectly clean and contains no nonsense. There's an error on one page where the author describes coal as highly inflammable.

A delightful, true story from a child's perspective about life at sea. My family greatly enjoyed this.

A completely delightful children's book, and it's true! The black and white pictures of the real family at the back are fascinating too.

Read this to my girls. We all really enjoyed it. It was a sweet little book, with great illustrations. The girls liked seeing the photographs of the ship and the family at the back of the book, too. Highly recommend.
