Description: From the very first travellers who crossed the Bering Strait on foot to future space travel, Let's Go! is a delightful introduction for young readers to the fascinating history of transportation. Lizann Flatt's spare, lyrical text and Scot Ritchie's charming illustrations include a delightful search-and-find element: an adorable dog that appears somewhere on each spread. Let's Go! is perfect for early readers and great for reading aloud. Amazing "Did You Know" facts at the back of the book give additional information on the featured modes of transportation. Readers join a journey across land, sea and sky to see the First Peoples trailing travois and wearing snowshoes, to the traders and trappers crossing cold, fresh waters, to settlers in wooden ships and horses pulling barges. Along the way, young readers get a fascinating snapshot of life at different points in our history as steamships, railways, streetcars, bicycles, cars and airplanes come along while the world becomes a busier place. And yet readers are reminded that some of the same ways to get around in ancient times are still used today. Let's Go! is a joyful adventure for early readers. Ages 5-8.
