Transportation in Many Cultures

"This read-aloud is one of several in a series, "Life around the World," which features transportation methods in various countries. Lovely photography accompanies simple text with repetitive vocabulary to aid early readers and for small group discussion. It contains the basic parts of a reference book, such as a table of contents, glossary, and index."

"In this fun and lively presentation, a youngster sets up his toy vehicles and action figures to show busy traffic patterns, a train crossing, tolls, a fire engine responding to a call, and road-condition reports from the helicopter overhead. The flowing text rhymes and has a good pace and rhythm, which makes it an ideal read-aloud for transportation fans. The illustrations are bright and full of detail. Children will have plenty to peruse and will go back again and again to catch everything they missed. The story will definitely spark their imaginations and can also be used to encourage creative play."
