This is a fun picture book about who is driving various modes of transportation (mostly cars). In each query there is asked "Who is driving _______?" Things like a fire truck or a convertible or whatnot. When the question is asked there are four different animals that are holding keys that could be on their way to drive that particular vehicle. But only one has a clue that fits who would be driving that. For example only the elephant is wearing the fireman's outfit so really he is the one who wo...more
Interactive-style story asks the reader to guess which animal is driving each vehicle based on their clothes, etc. The text is very simple, leaving the parent/child to discuss the options. Sometimes this is tricky -- like when I couldn't identify whch animal a drawing was supposed to represent. Still, I enjoyed it even though I'm usually not a fan of this kind of book. The illustrations are part of what makes it work: they're a cute & very detailed cartoony style. The vehicle sound effects a...more
I used this book for bilingual story time as a participation story. I asked the kids who they thought was going to drive the said vehicle, and then on the next page, I had them yell out "who" was actually driving. I also made the sounds that each vehicle makes (the sound is provided, which makes it easier) and had the kids try to make the sounds, too. It's a very simple book, but it's fun. It is also very bright and cheerful-looking.
This one was read at story time today. I thought the idea was good and I liked how it wasn't overly simple. For example, the driver of the fire truck was easy to pick out, but not so much the driver of the convertible, limo, or tractor. I also liked the variety in vehicles. We weren't very close so I didn't see the illustrations very well.
This book is fun for children who like solving puzzles and like vehicles/planes. In this book children will read along and try to figure out which animal will ride in which vehicle/plane. Children will use critical thinking skills and predicting to come up with their own idea of which animal will drive what.
I really enjoyed this one. It's a simple guessing game, although not all of the drivers are easy to guess. It was fun to read aloud and ask the kids who they thought was driving. A great pick for an interactive, participatory book in storytime!
Easy-to-read text invites the reader to guess which animal is driving each of seven vehicles based on how they are dressed, then reveals their destinations and the vehicles' sounds. www.hcpl.net
This is a fun guess-ahead game, but it was a little advanced for my preschooler, who wasn't familiar with all the different uniforms that corresponded to the different vehicles.
Also good for problem solving and playful to read. You have to lead the children a bit more and give them clues to the solution though. Good for young children who like cars.
Fun pictures (you can't go wrong with animals driving cars) and prompting questions that will draw your audience in. This one was a big hit at my transportation-themed storytime.
Going to try this one at a story hour. I think it should work well with a group, and it certainly will work well one on one with a vehicle loving kid in your lap.
I tried this for Toddler storytime and they really liked guessing, but it would be a lot better sharing one on one. Very fun book, though!
My students enjoyed guessing who might be driving. Nice opportunities for building sentences given the repetition.
Simple guessing game where a child can select which of the animals is driving a vehicle based on their outfits.
This one might make a storytime. Not much of a story, but great interaction and child cognition. I like it.
Read for a transportation/"about town" storytime. Promotes great interaction between book and reader.
great interactive book, but some of the pictures are awfully tricky. Especially when doing it for storytime
What a fun book to match the driver with their car! My brother liked it just as much as me-maybe more!
Fun book that helps to teach matching situationally using context clues.
Carsen loves this one. She's got it down!
this is a great kids book. i could read it over and over again.
Old library book for Toby
Really cute book. Liked the pictures and the movement of the story. My 2 1/2 year old was practically "reading" the book as he turned the pages, telling me who would drive each car. Really enjoyed that he was understanding the concept so well.
This book tests kids critical thinking or problem solving skills in a fun way. Who is most likely to drive this kind of vehicle? Then a parade of very cute animals all dressed differently go by and you have to choose.
