Exploring how people get around, readers will learn about different transportation methods while introducing concepts such as carpooling and commuting. Includes Important Signs and Symbols.

Planes, trains, and automobiles for the kiddos. Explains different ways of getting from place to place, for everyone from commuters to vacationers. Most attention is paid to autos, planes, boats, and trains, with bicycles mentioned briefly (in a labeled illustration). Public transit has a page (buses, carpooling), but walking, oddly, is entirely omitted. There's a page for space travel, and a final page of "important signs, signals, and navigational aids." ( )

This book is a great example of many different modes of transportation. It talks about cars, buses, scooters, airplanes, scooters, and trains. This book would be a great addition to a unit about Geography or Travel. I believe that students would respond nicely to this book because it has excellent pictures and information about transportation.
