Review:
Ports are a station that
welcome visitors and various goods. This book is a guide to some of the biggest
and busiest ports around the world. Each is unique and each page has colorful
illustrations with lots of cool hidden items young readers will recognize and
enjoy.
One of the most famous
ports is in New York city. The Statue of Liberty welcomes big ships carrying people
and containers. The Port of Hamburg is located in Germany and was founded over
800 years ago. It is also the only port in the world that transfers the most
containers. The Port of London consists of many smaller ports. Around the North
and South Poles there are no ports for visitors or containers but only for scientists
who stay to study the climate, landscape and wildlife. Barcelona has one of the
largest ports for cruise ships and serves millions of tourists every year.
This extraordinary guide is
host to lots of information and fun facts too. Young readers who want to learn
more about what ports have to offer from around the world will be intrigued and
surprised. Parents and teachers can use this as a tool to teach where goods may
come from, the history of ports and find places tourists are welcome.
