Race cars, construction trucks, aircraft, trains and ships each get their turn in this introduction to how people and goods move around.
The book sets out what a vehicle is for before getting to how it works, so a child learns why a harvester and an aeroplane are built differently rather than just naming both. Short facts sit beside every illustration, giving an adult something to read out and a child something to remember. Coverage stretches from road to rail to sea and air, which keeps the book going well past the first sitting for any reader already fixed on things with engines.
Things to expect:
• Vehicles drawn from road, rail, water and air rather than cars alone
• Short factual notes explaining what each machine is built to do
• Colour illustration sized to show the parts a child asks about
• A structure that supports dipping in as much as reading straight through
Aimed at pre-school and early primary readers with a fixation on machines, and at adults who field the questions. Browse it at Boipoka.
