Buckle up and start your engines! Paul Collicutt once more shows his reverence for machines of travel in a simple, inviting survey of different kinds of cars for very young enthusiasts. While the concise text describes how cars differ from one another in size, speed, and usage, the real star is the artwork, executed in a Technicolor palette with the dramatic energy of WPA-era poster art. Cars from all periods of history are featured - from horse and buggy to space-age sound-barrier breakers - and illustrated endpapers depict notable, labeled models from around the world.
My 2 year old son absolutely LOVES all of the books in the series - I sometimes find him "reading" the books to himself! The artwork in the books is amazing & really fascinates the kids. I highly recommend these books to any little boy (or girl!) that loves trucks, trains, cars, planes, trains or rockets. It's really nice to find childrens books with great content & beautiful pictures.
"This Book" is great!

My 3 year old memorized this book before I knew it. He knows all his opposites- long: short, many lights:no lights, gas powered: soloar powered! Get this and Collicut's 3 others "This Train", "This Boat" and "This Plane." Perfect for the toddler/preschool boy.
