Reviews

[carter Edwards · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was OK but it's a little rough around the edges.

[Alison Brewer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is an easy-to-read and informing piece all about motorcycles. The illustrations of the book are real diagrams and photographs of motorcycles. As I read Motorcycles!, I find that the author used good formed sentences and formatting for early readers. Goodman talks to the reader about speed, types, races, and parts of the motorcycle.
In the classroom, this book would be a great exercise for breaking down sentences. I would recommend this book to any student needing to work on their sentence making skills or who are struggling with new words.

A book all about motorcycles - kinds of motorcycles as well as a bit of their history. The book is written at a "Step 3" level so great for younger kids.

Could be part of a text set on transportation for 2nd grade. Good for classroom library for 2nd through 5th grade.
