What does it mean for a book to say that someone stood in the bows of a boat?
Joek1997
The 'bow' of a boat is the pointy bit at the front! So to "stand in the bows of a boat" simply means that the person has gone to the front of the boat and is standing as far forward as they can get. Colloquial English uses the phrase 'IN the bows' rather than 'AT the bows' but means the same thing.

That's a tricky one. The first two bows are on the red present and the red bow on the holly. Since this is a challenger book you have to think out of the box. The other two are held by the bears playing the violin! :) They are violin bows! Tricky tricky!
