Books with author Susan Steggall

A fantastic first concept book about colours, featuring 22 vehicles from bulldozers and trucks to tippers and diggers, and showing ten different colours. There's a wheel to turn on the final spread, where the child can match vehicles to colours, for extra interactive learning and fun. By the FL star of vehicles books and all things on wheels - Susan Steggall.

Following a fishing boat that leaves port in the morning and returns in the afternoon, this visual feast of a book illustrates many of the vessels to be seen in a typical harbour. From freighters being loaded with cargo, lifeboats, a ferry, speed boats, rowing boats and yachts, to an ocean liner, this is a book that celebrates the variety and beauty of boats and ships of every kind. Accompanied by a rhyming and rhythmic text that will delight the youngest readers, this is a perfect book for adults and young children to share. It is one that is sure to inspire a fascination with the sea and ships of all sizes. Following the author/illustrator's Rattle and Rap about a train journey, and On the Road and Life of a Car, this further establishes Susan Steggall as a striking picture book talent.

"All aboard! All aboard! Bustle and fuss, bustle and fuss. Rumble, rumble, rumble, roll. Rattle and rap, clickety clack." There’s nothing like a visit to the sea, and what better way to get there than by train? Youngsters join in as the train whooshes through a tunnel, rattles across a level crossing, and rumbles along the track taking its passengers safely to their station. This delightfully simple and colorfully illustrated story sweeps the little ones along on an imaginative journey they’ll want to take again and again.
