PreS—These books take advantage of toddlers' affection for vehicles to introduce simple concepts. The counting book goes from 1 bus to 10 bicycles and ends with "1 BIG traffic jam!" The book about opposites includes familiar terms such as "Up, Down" and "Stop, Go." The large, clear texts stand out against the brightly colored backgrounds. The silly cartoon illustrations are as lively as the texts. People of all races and ages use the vehicles. A gray-haired woman rides a chopper and a dog rides in a sidecar. The concepts are simple enough to engage the very young, and the illustrations contain enough detail and humor to entertain older readers as well.—Amelia Jenkins, Juneau Public Library, AK
