Publisher's Synopsis

Join Willy and Archie on their travels and adventures at sea.Welcome Aboard! This is the first adventure in this children's book series, and an introduction to the characters and theme. Part fantasy, but no less educational about life at sea as a seafarer/sailor. At the same time, the book helps explain a little more about maritime and shipping, ships and seafaring, together with other lessons for kids picked up along the way, as well as the broader theme of world geography and the marine environment. Collect all the Willy the Sailor books and follow this adventure at sea. This book series has full page, rich and detailed illustrations. The stories are geared to kids from 3 to 11. They are ideal for reading to toddlers and early readers, boys and girls, and engaging them in the unique adventure. They are also perfect for primary school kids, who can start to read more independently, but many times, might prefer a faster and lighter book. Still exciting and motivating their imagination, this book also teaches children about an interesting, important and perhaps not so widely covered topic. For instance, did you know?
