Away We Go!

This has to be one of the best, most colorful books about carsand other forms of transportation for toddlers. I have two boys, ages 18 mos and 3 yrs. I can read this over and over and over again. At night when a sleepy dad is tired, it's also an easy, quick read before bed. I bought one for my nephew's 2nd birthday, and they say it's become a favorite of his too.We especially like the cable car page. Go, go, go! My youngest one says. A great addition to our collection of books.

I wish I had found this book sooner. My two year oldwill sit and look at this one by himself for much longerthan he does any other book. All about transportation and all the ways we can get around from a taxi to a trolley. The illustrations are so good! Chunky and bold and kid-friendly. There are few words on the pages, which is nice for this age, and the language is simple fun: "Ready to go? Let's go by golly! On a taxi. On a trolley." My son giggles when I read that part.Can't go wrong with this one.

Each time we read this book with a 2 year old girl who visits our library in a wheelchair she smiles. She points. Smiles again. She sees herself among, and in between subways, planes and trains. Finally, a simple, bright, colorful book that includes a wheelchair so easily as part of the text simply because it is the way many children must move to get from place to place.

This book is fun to read and leaves lots of opportunity for discussion while reading. The illustrations are great. Best of all, even with a toddler's propensity to request that I read the book over and over and over again, I don't tire of this one.
