Review

Young readers will learn about the world of transportation and the many choices available to get around. Minimal narrative text appears on each page but all the various modes of transportation are clearly labeled on each page. An explanation of the concept of carpooling and commuting is also included. In the boating section, it should be noted that there is no mention of a submarine. This would have been interesting to add as a boat that goes underwater. The space section is limited to only one page and reads rather flat. A page that covers important signs, signals and navigational aids ends the book. The illustrations are colorful and detailed and fill up the pages making the book comparable to Richard Scarry books or Mr. Postmouse Takes a Trip by Marianne Dubuc. Overall, an good book for young readers who are interested in planes, trains, boats and automobiles.

Overall Book Score: good
