Everything Goes on Land by Brian Biggs is a wonderful picture book full of brightly colored illustrations and lots of great specific vocabulary words about vehicles that go on land.
It's the story of a father and his son, traveling in their little purple car, talking about all the different kinds of moving things they pass as they travel through a city.
It's quite cleverly done with some animal characters and some people who are obviously important and unusual characters in addition to the father...more

There is much to be said for simplicity. The elegant understated picture book that contains peaceful moments of serenity with the idea that a child might get lost in the image of a single field during a snowstorm, say, for hours at a time. Yes indeed. Nothing like it. There is much to be said for simplicity, but let me level with you. When I was a kid I liked quiet books, but only when my craving for the wild, colorful, frantic, and fast-paced had been fulfilled. It's easy to swallow Tasha Tudor...more
Everything Goes: On Land by Brian Biggs is a large-format picture book that chronicles cars, bicycles, motorcycles, trucks and other vehicles that go on land.
I highly recommend reading Elizabeth Bird's Goodreads review on this book, especially her comments regarding R. Crumb, Waldo, and details.
Biggs' detailed, colorful, action-filled illustrations will have children looking for birds with hats, the numbers 1-100, out-of-place things, and continuing stories involving certain people or stores. I...more

A young boy and his father travel to the crowded city where everyone is going - by car, truck,
bicycle, motorbike, and train. The informative conversation as well as diagrams and endless backstories told in labels and text bubbles inform as well as entertain the reader. The search and find component will keep young motor lovers coming back to each spread again and again. The final double-dread at their destination makes a great climax to the tale. The lively, colorful illustrations and humorous...more

An extremely busy book! This would never work for a storytime. A read-alone would work for the older child who wouldn't be overwhelmed by everything going on, figure out exactly which parts of the picture are labeled, and could pick up on some of the jokes, the run-on jokes, and the arcing stories. For the younger child a lap-read would probably be best so an adult could help point those things out. But for those young kids who love cars & trucks, this is a fun choice.
This book will provide hours of enjoyment for any child who is interested in cars, trucks, bikes, and things that go! Each page is like a Where's Waldo of vehicles, mixed with mini stories, funny characters, and non-fiction facts about different modes of transportation. The pictures are colorful and there is so much to look at!
This book has way too many details for the average young reader. Plus way too much going on to read and focus on everything. Its like an I spy or where's Waldo but with disorganized reading all over. IF the facts were a little simplier, and the story off to one corner that would have made this so much easier.
Genre: Concept Picture Book. My four year old loved this book and so did I. Each illustration has so much going on that we could look at one page for 15 minutes and talk about what we see. The cartoon style delivery of information keeps the reader engaged while providing a ton of vocabulary and information.
Grades Pre-K to 1. WOW! Busy pages are filled with all kinds of land transportation-- cars, trucks, motorcycles, bikes, rails, buses. And fun cross-section descriptions of how they work. Cute dialog and captions make this a fun read for mom and dad, too. Read more than once and pick up new things.
Another surprise hit. We have read this over and over and over. Vibrant, busy illustrations with speech bubbles rather than an in-line story.
I'd give it a rather neutral 3 stars myself. Based on reading requests, kiddo would rate it 5 stars. Four stars it is.

My two year old loves this book! he can stare at it for hours! The ilustration is enless! everytime he looks at it, he finds something new that he missed the time before. It's great for long drives in the car and for entertainment when you are potty training.
So much in this book about transportation! This book would be great for teaching about the different types of transportation that are used around the world. It also shows the inside parts of the vehicle, giving the vocabulary to the different parts.
If I had a nephew I thought would still go for this book, this would probably be on my Christmas gift list. Lots of details to pore through, lots of information. Perfect for browsing and reading with the sort of little boy who is vehicle mad.
A fun, read that teaches kids all about different means of transportation. Each of the busy, brightly colored pages shows a variety of ways we can get around the city, from the subway, to trains, taxis, motorcycles, cars, trucks etc. One of the engaging things about this story are the captions found on each page by each different car, truck, motorcycle etc. This made if fun for the kids to find the different vehicles and learn what they do.

Reminds me of Richard Scarry with brighter colors and focus pages. Kids will love it but this is a 1:1 or 1:2 book - lots of great information on each page.
My eyes!! There is so much to look at! Buy this for your favorite little transportation fan and spend a long time poring over the details together.
Reminiscent of Richard Scary books with art inspired by Richard Hefter of Sweet Pickles fame.
Lots of cool stuff on these pages to pass the hours.
Both of my girls loved this.
Reminds me of Richard Scarry. Can see the labels as valuable for ELL's. although it's destined for the preschool set.
