“The First Words and Pictures series kicks off with two titles, including this polished-looking guide to vehicles of all sorts, which are collected in seven thematic spreads. Big blocks of color create an eye-catching checkerboard backdrop for each scene, including ones devoted to air travel (a pilot and flight attendant appear alongside a helicopter, glider, and other vehicles), emergencies (featuring police cars, fire trucks, and the stations both return to), as well as construction and aquatic vehicles. The digital graphics vary in their level of detail, and at times look a bit too much like old clip art, but vehicle-obsessed kids probably won't mind. Simultaneously available: Animals. Up to age 3. ”

“Children love vehicles. Girls and boys alike love watching trains clickety clack by, planes taking off, and fire engines roaring down the road with lights flashing. Often the name of some kind of vehicle is one of the first words they learn. In this wonderful board book children will find double page spreads that are dedicated to different kinds of vehicles or modes of transport, and the things and people that are associated with them. For example, on the first spread the focus is on trains. There is an engine, a train car, tickets, a tunnel, a signal, a conductor and more. Each picture is annotated with the name of the thing that we are looking at. The next spread looks at air travel. In addition to an airplane and a helicopter, we see pictures of a hang glider, and a hot air balloon. There are also pictures of a pilot and a flight attendant, a stair car, an airport, and a baggage cart. The pages that follow show us things "On the road;" things that are associated with emergencies such as ambulances and fire stations; building site vehicles and the things that you see on building sites; and finally things that are "On the water." This book will make a wonderful gift for a young child who loves things that go. ”—Marya Jansen-Gruber

“Children love animals. Often they know the names of animals before they know people’s names, happily burbling on about “goggies” and “kitties” to anyone who will listen. In this wonderful board book, children get to meet a wide variety of animals, some of which they might see as they go about their day, and others that live in exotic locales around the world. Our journey begins with “safari animals” such as a lion, a rhino, and a snake. Alongside these more well-known animals children will encounter a hornbill, a vulture, and a meerkat. Next up are farm animals, some of which children might also see in a home (a rabbit), in a backyard (a hen) or perhaps in a park (a duck). Pets come next and again we see familiar animals such as a dog and a cat, but we also see a ferret, a salamander, and a parrot. We dip beneath the waves next to get to know a stingray, a sea star, a seahorse, and many other wonderful animals that live in the sea. The author goes on to visit animals that live in rainforests, baby animals, and birds. For each animal found in this book children are presented with a picture and the name of the animal, which is written in large block-print letters. Children are going to love exploring this book both on their own and in the company of their grownups. With its large format, bright colors, and sturdy pages, this is a perfect book for lap book time.”—Marya Jansen-Gruber
