"Go, Go, Go" is a FIVE STAR success from author and illustrator Bob Barner.
This brightly illustrated story uses simply beginning words for very early readers, and still manages to be a page turner, as kids and adults alike will want to see more dogs driving psychedelic dump trucks, puppy chaffeurs driving rainbow limos, and the like. Readers will discover something new to look at and love with every reading!
Simple text and illustrations. Great for beginning readers as well as fans of transportation books. The colors were a bit bright and unrealistic for my tastes.
This was a simple beginner reader book. there was no plot but the illustrations were nice. This would be a good book to add to a class library for younger students beginning to read independently.
