In Fourteen Hundred Ninety-Two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

The author uses this familiar rhyme to introduce young readers to the story of Christopher Columbus's voyages to the new world. The story, written in rhyming couplets, is told with lively humor. Children will learn that "Ninety sailors were on board; Some men worked while others snored."

Steve Björkman's equally fun-filled illustrations offer a delightful introduction to a very important event in world history.
