Vehicles

This soft-to-touch board book encourages toddlers to talk and to learn new words, using the thrilling subject of moving vehicles. Young children are fascinated by things that go, and this book is full of bright, bold action photographs of all kinds of transport - from a tiny tricycle to a huge freight train, and from a sedate sailboat to a supersonic jet aircraft. It comes with images of real-life vehicles that readers may only have seen on TV or as toy versions, such as a tractor and a vintage plane, to the more familiar motorcycle and car. The book's strong, dramatic pictures, and informative and entertaining point-and-say format encourage word skills and recognition. It is specially designed for youngsters and adults to enjoy together, with a wipe-clean cover and sturdy board pages. Visually interesting, enjoyable to use and built to last, this book is an excellent introduction to the diverse variety of vehicles. Experts agree that preschool children respond more immediately to photographs than to illustrations. This padded boardbook is visually exciting, and is designed for youngsters to enjoy and to learn from. They can view vehicles with two wheels, three wheels or four, a busy digger and a speedboat cutting through the water. There are also human-powered vehicles, such as a scooter and a kayak. Meanwhile, the parent, guardian or teacher can point to and repeat the simple captions. Navigate the world of transportation with this engaging book
