Meet a little Maryland Crab named "Bozman" as he and several friends venture away from home and find themselves in a very scary situation. Looking for Bozman is a short story and adventure that will teach readers a little about marine life in the Chesapeake Bay and Maryland's Eastern Shore. This is the first in our "Looking for Bozman" series and includes activity pages. Very young readers might need assistance but that's ok because this book is just as entertaining and informative for big people.

"Once upon a time, thhere was a little crab named Bozman who lived near the Chesapeake Bay, in a body of water called Broad Creek. Bozman had a few close friends. They were quite different from each other. Tilghman, a Maryland Terrapin,
Oxford, an Eastern Oyster and Michael, a Rockfish, were quite a sight to behold as they played under the calm waters of the creek."

Introducing the illustrated story of aviation on Nantucket. Aviation history on Nantucket began shortly after the United States entered WW 1. United States Naval Aviation was assigned to protect shipping lanes from enemy submarines along the North American coastline. After the war, transporting civilians by air became a popular and profitable business. Many military-trained pilots purchased airplanes and started scheduled service from ‘The Island’ to Boston and nearby Martha’s Vineyard. Glorious flying days followed with the arrival of barnstormers and other aviators determined to strike it rich in the “Yukon of the East Coast”. Nantucket aviation history continues to this day as the island plays host to the world’s best pilots; from the Blue Angels to Circumnavigators and other modern day explorers of the sky. 12 full-page aircraft illustrations for coloring, including Curtiss R-9, US Navy dirigible Shenandoah, Piper Cub, Beechcraft Bonanza, Wings Cessna 402C, Blue Angels FA-18, Autogyro, Home-built aircraft, Piper Malibu, Cessna R172K, 1941 Waco UPF7, Robinson R66 and assorted ACK airport images with accompanying historical information. Almost 30 pages of coloring and Nantucket aviation education.
