Follow boxes of books through the supply chain, as they travel from truck to ship and then across the ocean to a bookstore (and to you)!
Every here has a there, every up has a down, and every far has a near. Hop on board a big cargo ship as books printed in Asia head onto the water and toward the United States!
Chock-full of fun facts and a unique overview of opposites, Every Here Has a There will fascinate and educate young readers on how their treasured books get delivered to their favorite local shelves. Also great for new readers, as its simple, engaging vocabulary offers oodles of options for spelling lists and sight words.---from the publisher

Some of us are lucky enough to have a young person/s in our lives who ask questions and whose minds are constantly searching for answers about how the world works. They don't stop at "look at the garbage truck." They want to know how it works, how the garbage team does its job and where it's going next.
That mind is about to get blown. The author, Margo Linn, of EVERY HERE HAS A THERE really "gets" these kids and she has written a book to reassure them that they can get answers to their mighty questions.
This book opens with a map - gives the listeners the "big picture" of what is about to unfold. Genius. See that book in your hand right now? Well, how did it get to you? What were all the steps? Yep, it's about boxes of books leaving Asia on a large ship as cargo and what the steps are between the boxing up and the opening of the book at your house. Using opposites all along the way, we follow the books across the globe.
But even bigger it explains how all those amazing containers get on cargo ships- we're talking big cranes here. What is the loading process? Where does the ship's captain work? And... wait for it... what's it like to go through the Panama Canal on this ship? New York City here we come.
I'm telling ya- this one is amazing in its understanding of the young sponges who need this big picture stuff and all the little pieces and steps that come together to get cargo from here to there.
I can't wait to hand this to my 6 year old friend. Thanks Margo- write us another one please.
