Reviews

[Kelly Wickham · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a great book for a child who is full of questions and wants to know the inner workings of things. How do elevators, escalators, and the cargo areas of planes, boats, and buses work? What is happening where we can't see things?
It's not a cuddly, fun book to read over and over but many children would enjoy it.

A very nice informational book about transportation. Even thought its mainly for kids, I still, somehow, learned more about transportation and how there built, because it cam with pictures on how it was built.

This wasn't really a good book in my opinion. I didn't really enjoy it that much. although I think that a younger kid may enjoy it more. There were nice pictures and it would help teach younger kids on the different ways of transportation and how they work.
