With artwork reminiscent of Ezra Jack Keats, this book details a day on the Bay (San Francisco?). Simple text details the action of different types of boats, like tugs, kayaks, and fishing boats. The day culminates in a beautiful fireworks display in a gatefold fired from the deck of a barge.

Young readers will enjoy the many different boats and the activity around them as they ply the water of the bay. The more observant readers will notice that the sentences on the first two pages are quite similar to the sentences on the last two pages, moving the story into a somewhat circular manner. Artwork is muted and the reader does not see expression of the characters’ faces. But, the real art is in the boats and they are done beautifully.
