Look & See: Wheels on the Go!
Side by side, two circular, die-cut holes represent the wheels of vehicles pictured on the right-hand pages of this sturdy board book. With each turn of the page, the circles are a fraction of an inch smaller and a slightly different shade of orangey red, creating an attractive, layered effect for little fingers to explore. A rhythmic, rhyming couplet introduces each car, truck, or cycle in a riddle, followed by the question What am I? and the answer. Clearly drawn black lines define the vehicles, and the color washes show up brightly against white backgrounds. From the large wheels of the steam engine on the cover to the little wheels of the trolley on the final page, this title in the Look and See series is a playful, engaging choice for young children enthralled by vehicles on wheels. --Carolyn Phelan
