Toddler—No one captures vehicles in motion quite like the masterful Light. The author/artist of Trucks Go, Trains Go, and Planes Go here introduces eight seaworthy vessels and their sounds in this elongated board book. A fireboat, a tugboat, a cruise ship, a paddle boat, a gondola, a speedboat, a sailboat, and a submarine glide and bob and sail across the pages. The loose watercolors and saturated palette suit the subject to a tee, and even the splashy typography rides the waves to deliver the trailing sounds.
