Everything Goes is a series of books written and illustrated by Brian Biggs. The first books in the series, Everything Goes: On Land and Everything Goes: In the Air, are a celebration of cars, trucks, motorcycles, planes, and other things that go!
K-Gr 1-This second book in the "Everything Goes" series features multiple modes of transportation in winter. It is a snowy morning and Henry's family has decided to go ice skating. En route to the rink, he sees taxis, buses, cars, trucks, a dogsled, a Zamboni, and a mounted patrol. Some vehicles, such as a tow truck and a snowplow, help others to navigate on the slick streets. After a fun day of skating, the family returns home to make a snowman and drink hot chocolate. For those readers who live in warmer climates, this book will be a window into how people cope with winter. The balance between the very easy text and colorful illustrations is just right, with no more than three large-print sentences per page. Alternating phrases such as "says Henry" and "Henry says" keep the words fresh in beginning readers' minds. A strong choice for the earliest readers.-Janene Corbin, Rosebank Elementary School, Nashville, TNα(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
