Working Boats: Salmon Troller

A Look-Inside Book

All aboard the Plucky in this eye-opening die-cut board book for nascent engineers and tech-curious children. People prepare the old boat for the sea, refreshing its paint and tinkering with its engine before heading out in search of a catch. Cross-sectioned, x-ray vision peeks into what’s going on inside of the boat’s various rooms pair well with the lovely images of the seascapes it travels; the aurora borealis dance overhead as the freezer is steadily stacked with fish. The illustrations have a pleasing vintage quality, with bold lines and a varied, muted color palette.
