This beautiful, inspiring non-fiction book will fascinate all of us who have gazed at a lighthouse in awe and admiration.
It’s set out as a series of questions asked by a lighthouse-loving young person on a school trip, double page spreads providing the answers. It’s a simple, appealing and highly effective, especially as the text is accompanied by striking, stylish illustrations in rich reds and blues.
We learn what lighthouses are for, where the first ones were built, how they are constructed, why the light shines so far, and we get to look inside a lighthouse, thanks to a spectacular cross section, and even to gaze out from the top deck. It concludes with a spotlight on some of the world's most famous lighthouses and an invitation to young readers to design their own.
After reading this, they’ll be snatching up pens and rulers with massive enthusiasm.
This a terrific book to share with inquisitive children and the combination of stunning illustrations and interesting text makes this a well worthwile read both at home and to use in the classroom.

Join a group of school children on this voyage of discovery and discover the answers to lots of questions as well as fascinating facts about lighthouses and how they work. How Does a Lighthouse Work? provides a fascinating journey through the science and history of lighthouses around the world. Through history a lighthouse has been an important, in fact essential tool for sailors to navigate safely and this remains so today in order to protect all sailors from the dangerous coastlines and rocky outcrops out to sea that are found all over the world.
Modern technology may have changed the way that lighthouses work but still their USP remains the same: to deliver a light as far as possible to forewarn sailors of potential dangers.
