About Lighthouses
Pam Holden
Paperback (Flying Start Books, March 25, 2015)Lighthouses are tall buildings that are near the sea. Their job is to help keep ships safe. Every lighthouse has a big bright light that shines out over the sea. The light shows ships where there are dangerous rocks. Then ships can keep away from danger. They need to go where the water is deep.
