A fun rhyming books about many of the ways we get around places. It covers everything from horses to wheelchairs to trains and planes. The art is simple and colorful, making it a fun read overall—and not just for kids interested in vehicles (which the ones I babysit are).

Simple, high-contrast pictures and excellent opportunities to practice vehicle noises! My 18 month old with a speech delay actually vocalized NEW sounds and hand motions while we read this one aloud! Big win for us.

This was a color and fun book to share with my two year old son. It had many different was to travel not just cars and planes, with the added bright contrasting colors we were able to practice colors as well!

This is a good book about traveling for ages 2-5. The pictures clearly show the different ways of traveling and the words are simple, easy to follow and is good for an emergent reader. I used it for my Pre-K's travel theme. I would use again.
