Publisher's Synopsis
On the Move presents various modes of transportation, including a bicycle, car, train, ship, and helicopter. Each double-page spread contains a simple introductory paragraph and a large cartoon drawing of the featured vehicle, along with labels highlighting some of its characteristics. One or two captioned full-color photographs provide additional examples. Occasionally, sidebars tout the world's highest truck or the world's longest car without providing specific details about the size of these wonders or where they can be found. A short story about a bus driver who tries out different jobs in the transportation field appears at the end, along with two puzzles (an easy maze and one that asks children to identify close-up pictures) and a true-or-false quiz. The second title follows the same format, but gets a little more specific by discussing particular trucks (e.g., bulldozer, crane, fire engine).
