BUYING ADVISORY: PRE-K, EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Mommy is in the front seat and Bonnie’s in the back. They
drive around town spotting all sorts of vehicles, such as sweepers, tracker
trailers, school and city buses, and camper vans. There are emergency vehicles,
construction vehicles, and lots of trucks (garbage, mail, moving, ice cream,
tow). The reader will also see traffic lights,
crosswalks, street signs, and a train and its railroad crossing gates. The road trip passes by familiar places around town, too, such as a supermarket, post office, car
dealership, and a gas station that offers both gas and electric charging.
Each spread features four or eight lines of text with
a A-B-C-B rhyming scheme and lots of sight words. All the people are portrayed as animals. From toddlers
to second graders learning to read, this early reader will be sure to hold the
attention of any kid interested in things that go. What fun this ride is!
