On The Road
PreSchool-Grade 1–Vehicles and more vehicles are what readers see as they follow a British family driving in city traffic, through the roadworks, past grazing cows, and finally to the sea. Along the way, they are introduced to a plethora of prepositions (e.g., up, down, around, into, under, across). The vibrant collage artwork is bursting with color: bold hues in the bustling city, serene shades and textures in the country, and the soothing colors of the seaside. Observant youngsters will notice that the steering wheels are on the right side of the cars instead of the left and that the license plates look different. Large type and few words per page encourage youngsters to explore and pore over the details. Children will be engaged whether being read to, or tackling this offering on their own.–Wanda Meyers-Hines, Ridgecrest Elementary School, Huntsville, ALCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
