Surrounded by Sea: Life on a New England Fishing Island
by
Gail Gibbons
children's nonfiction
Gail Gibbons has written tons of nonfiction children's books and it is easy to see why she is so popular. Her words and illustrations are matter of fact and vivid. There is lots to see and learn about fishing, lobster catching, boating, and island life in this pleasant book. For children who are interested in learning to draw wildlife, people, or vehicles this would be a good example to emulate.
