Sometimes it can be hard to explain what it means to be underway on a ship and why a parent has to leave for a patrol. This book introduces young children to the U.S. Coast Guard’s afloat missions through colorful pictures and rhyme. Bonus coloring pages are included so children can color their own Coast Guard mission scenes. Ideal for ages 2-6, this engaging book contains 9 full color story pages plus 6 coloring pages.
