The idea of this book is to tell children what happens when boats are built, whether this is in a working boatyard or in someone's back garden. Wherever this happens children are drawn to watch, & sooner or later they will be asked to hold something, or else they will do so of their own free will, out of interest. This book is about conveying & explaining the sights, sounds, smells & most of all the feel of boatbuilding to youngsters, to inspire & entertain them.
