Brief Summary and how I would use this book with students: Lightship is a book about lightships. It talks about the people who are on board a lightship and what each on does. It also talks about how the lightship anchors in on specific place and stays there the whole time. It guides other boats passing by shinning its bright lights so that they can see through the dark and fog. Without lightships other boats could get lost or run into dangerous waters. This book could be used in the classroom when teaching children about various boats and aspects dealing with the ocean. This book uses rhyming sentences to make the learning fun.
