Alpha, Bravo, Charlie: The Complete Book of Nautical Codes
by Sara Gillingham
The large format (approx. 9” x 11”) and cardstock-heavy
pages are perfect for this clever book, which introduces kids to signal
flags, the phonetic alphabet, morse code, semaphore, and boats! Cheery graphics
in bright, primary colours make for an eye-catching display that’ll lure kids
into the secret world of maritime communications. Each letter of the alphabet
is first presented with its flag name, a picture of a boat and a clear explanation
of the flag’s meaning. Opposite is a full-page image of the flag, followed by a page which displays the letter’s phonetic code name, morse code signal, semaphore (as
demonstrated by a cute sailor figure), and details about the type of
boat.
With four different ways of communicating, kids will
definitely want to try them out!
An excellent reference book and a must-have for code-lovers
everywhere!
