COPY ISBN
PreS-Gr 1—Filled with stock photographs in full color and basic text, this series introduces some of the ways that people move around the world, from bicycles to trains to boats. Short sentences displayed on stark white backgrounds in a large font make it simpler for beginning readers to visualize the text along with pictorial context clues on the next page. The use of stock photos gives the series an overall generic feeling. A same-sex family is featured in Bikes Go! while female pilots and truck drivers are included in Trucks Go! and Planes Go!
VERDICT A useful series to consider when updating a transportation-themed section.
