This book counts from 1 to 10 using different modes of transportation. This includes a bus, firetrucks, vans, taxis, bicycles, and more. The book ends to combine all of the vehicles to form "1 big traffic jam!"The illustrations are very colorful and detailed which would hold the attention of the reader. I think this book would be great for children not only learning how to count, but especially for children who are interested in vehicles. It is also easy for younger children like toddlers to read since it is a board book. I really liked the detail in the illustrations most of all. They make the book more entertaining and add a level of humor to it.
Using board books on basic skills is always fun. Brian Briggs Everything Goes has books with a transportation theme that is very fun and these two new board books are right there. Everything Goes: 123 Beep Beep Beep!: A Counting Book counts 1-10 with various vehicles. Each page provides plenty of discussion and conversation. Everything Goes: Stop! Go!: A Book of Opposites provides the next step in everything from up/down, stop/go and beyond. As always these illustrations are bright, vibrant and fabulous.
A simple counting board book where children can count different types of vehicles. I like the style of Biggs's illustrations. The vehicles all seem as though they've been squished, so that they are shortened in length, but taller than usual--and there's a roundness to everything. His vivid colors and inclusion of a diverse crowd of people are sure to appeal to toddlers.
A board book that covers counting from 1 to 10 using all types of vehicles (fire trucks, vans, taxis etc). Brightly colored with detailed illustrations, this is a fun book to share with toddlers.
