About this book
Hello, green car speeding past. Choo-choo! Train is here at last.
This fantastic board book has simple rhyming text and a different vehicle on every page. Best of all are the different textures, which are impressively satisfying – the tractor wheel is our favourite, along with the silver grille on the fire engine on the cover.
Little fingers will enjoy stroking each texture, which will improve both fine motor skills and hand–eye coordination. And the illustrations use a stylish palette, with a friendly face on every vehicle.
This book is part of a series that includes animals, nature, toys, dinosaurs, and fruit and veg. Transport fans will be pleased that a wide variety of vehicles are shown, including a bus, a helicopter, a boat, and a tractor.
And parents and carers will be happy to discover that the ending is soothing, with a hot air balloon floating gently by, making this a lovely bedtime read.
