Maisy's Book of Things that Go: A Maisy First Science Book
PreSchool-K—Seven vignettes explore various modes of transportation including a bicycle, trolley, and hot-air balloon. Like the previous books in this series, the magic is in the movable parts on each page. Each spread is devoted to one form of transport and an illustrated sidebar comprised of three labeled items from the larger picture, encouraging a closer examination of the art and explanations from adults. In the case of the hot-air balloon, this includes flames, a basket, and a sandbag. Illustrations feature bright colors and thickly outlined cartoon animals. As is the case for most volumes designed to be manipulated, this charming title's durability will be tested, but it should nonetheless see lots of mileage.—Laura Butler, Mount Laurel Library, NJ(c) Copyright 2010.
