Choo! Choo! Guess the Vehicle!

TITLE: Choo! Choo! Guess the Vehicle!
AUTHOR:  Child's Play
ILLUSTRATOR: Cocorette
PUBLISHER: Child's Play International
COPYRIGHT: 2015

This is a very cute little board book with five different vehicles to guess.  On one page is the sound a vehicle makes (like choo! choo!), and on the next page the child can open the flap to find out which vehicle makes that sound.

The illustrations are bright and colorful with very large animals and vehicles. 

This book is appropriate for toddlers through preschoolers.

Trains, Boats, and Planes

TITLE: Trains, Boats, and Planes
AUTHOR: Peter Curry
ILLUSTRATOR: Peter Curry
PUBLISHER: Little Bee Books
COPYRIGHT: 2016

Trains, Boats, and Planes by Peter Curry is a colorfully illustrated board book that features trains, boats and planes. A couple different types are listed for each.

This would be a good book for toddlers to introduce them to these different types of transportation and expose them to the vocabulary of the names of the vehicles.  The book is very simplistic without any text except for the names of the various vehicles. (On a side note I wasn't sure why there was a period following the name labels on each page since it was only a word and not a sentence.)

The illustrations add to the appeal of this book.

I received this book from the publisher for my honest review. Thank you.

Have a day of blessings!
 

My Little Book of Cars

TITLE:  My Little Book of Cars
AUTHOR:  Michael Worek
ILLUSTRATOR:
PUBLISHER:  2013
COPYRIGHT: Firefly Books

Read this book with your toddler to discover cars and other modes of transportation.  This book is filled with great photos of all sorts of cars, trucks, and other things that go!

This is a good book to develop vocabulary for your toddler.  It uses some color words too to describe the cars.  One thing I noticed is some of the pages have simple two word phrases to describe the picture while other pages have sentences.  However, there are no capital letters or periods used on these pages which I found odd.

The Journey Home from Grandpa's

TITLE:  The Journey Home from Grandpa's
AUTHOR:  Jemima Lumley
ILLUSTRATOR:  Sophie Fatus
PUBLISHER:  Barefoot Books
COPYRIGHT:  2006

A child is on the trip home from Grandpa's.  This book describes the things that the child sees on the trip home from Grandpa's.  It uses repetition and rhyming words.  Each page focuses on a different colored method of transportation, including a white helicopter and orange truck.

I liked the fun, bright illustrations in this book that went along with the rhythmic text.  This book is appropriate for a read aloud in the classroom as well as at home.  I could see it being a favorite of young children because of its repetitive nature.  I would recommend it for kindergarten or younger aged children.
