SAIL AWAY





Title: SAIL AWAY
Author: Donald Crews
Published By: Greenwillow Books


Donald Crews has a really awesome illustrative style that is so simple and clear, but uses wonderfully expressive colors and I'm totally impressed with how his font, its color and sizing make a different to the narrative. This might be my favorite book of his to read aloud because its kind of like an action movie: A boat sets off and then WHOOSH! We're sailing. Oh no! Storm ahead! Ah. flat waters, again. Its so much fun and easy to share that fun with kids through reading and showing them those awesome illustrations.
I like how this book is written. The wording is good and i like how the author chose his words. I think students would like it, especially students who sail on boats regularly.
