Toddler-PreS—Slegers returns with Kevin, and this time the preschooler talks all about his love for various types of transportation. Some of Kevin's favorite vehicles include helper trucks (such as ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks) and working vehicles (such as garbage trucks and grapple trucks). Each page engages listeners, asking them questions. For example, one page asks readers, "Can you name all the vehicles?" Another asks if they can find the objects within the fire truck. The book explains who uses the specialized vehicles and what they do while operating them. The kid-friendly illustrations are bold, bright, and cheerful and are outlined in black.
VERDICT Slegers provides a great interactive experience for parents and children, perfectly suited to one-on-one and small group dialogic reading. Fans of her previous work will love this title.
