Reviews

Ages 4-7. Meijer's spiral-bound, wordless picture book is composed of paintings of five vehicles (police car, garbage truck, fire truck, ambulance, and bulldozer), each accompanied by four sturdy, plastic overlays showing the mechanical systems, the interior compartment, the occupants, and a second exterior view, accompanied by a labeled drawing. The last page of each set is a line drawing identifying the contents and naming the parts of each vehicle. Although the pages are sturdy, the plastic overlays might appeal to the crayon or marker artist. The pictures sometimes reveal the text's Swedish origin (in the background, bank tellers are labeled kassa), but children who like vehicles will like this book. Mary Harris Veeder
