From Booklist

*Starred Review* PreS-K. Noise! Movement! Trains, boats, and planes! Little ones love motion, and this book brilliantly captures that rush in raucous words and eye-popping art. Each bold two-page spread begins in a similar fashion: "Airplanes are great at fly, fly, flying . . . race cars are great at race, race, racing," with the print size getting bigger and bolder to reflect movement. Short and snappy, four lines of text encapsulate the excitement that comes with getting in a car, sailing on a lake, or floating in a hot-air balloon. The graphic-style artwork is executed in a melange of pure colors. Yellow, red, orange, green, and blue can all be found on a motorcyclist's outfit; solid patches of hues make up the land below a soaring plane; a pink sky dotted with balls of white seems a perfect background for a family on a ski lift. What fun this will be to read aloud; kids will no doubt be inspired to come up with noises and movements of their own. Ilene Cooper
