Hop on board a big cargo ship as books printed in Asia head onto the water and toward the United States! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChock-full of fun facts and a unique overview of opposites, \u003ci\u003eEvery Here Has a There\u003c\/i\u003e 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 vocabularly offers oodles of options for spelling lists and sight words.A shipment of books from Hong Kong to New York City provides a focus for this exploration of cargo transport via container ship.\u003cbr\u003e The red-and-black hull of the ship commands attention against white or pale-gray backgrounds as it’s piled high with blue, orange, green, and gray containers. The color scheme and graphical simplicity inevitably recall Donald Crews’ \u003ci\u003eFreight Train \u003c\/i\u003e(1978), as does the ship’s unvarying left-to-right orientation and its visual dominance of nearly every single double-page spread. Linn’s text takes two forms: a simple narrative of the action depicted on the page (“Tugboats point the bow of the ship out toward the Pacific Ocean”) and two patterned statements per spread, each containing a pair of, usually, opposite terms: “Every PULL has a PUSH. Every OFF has an ON.” Most of these opposing concepts are clearly illustrated; for instance, the tugboats, tiny against the enormous ship, embody \u003ci\u003epush \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003epull\u003c\/i\u003e. Others invite conversation: The containers are clearly \u003ci\u003eon \u003c\/i\u003ethe ship, but what is \u003ci\u003eoff\u003c\/i\u003e? The ship’s four-week journey takes it through the “engineering wonder” that is the Panama Canal; its “series of canal locks” is depicted in cross-section, but it will be up to adult readers to explain exactly what locks are or how they work, since no glossary or other backup information is included.\u003cbr\u003eGiven the ubiquity of container transport, this arresting effort is a necessary addition to things-that-go shelves.\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eMargo Linn\u003c\/b\u003e taught language arts in elementary schools for thirty years before embarking on a writing career.
