Coast Guard Boats to the Rescue! (Rescue Riders)

Description

U.S. Coast Guard boats are often emergency vehicles on the water. While they are used to enforce laws and patrol the waters, they are commonly called in when a boat is in distress. Fires, medical emergencies, and capsized vessels may be all in a day's work for the coast guardsmen aboard a coast guard boat. Readers are introduced to these important first responders on the water through accessible main text. Full-color photographs support the engaging information and show off the many different kinds of boats the U.S. Coast Guard uses to keep the country's waters safe.
