[Amanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fabulous early reader. It flows like a story unlike some easy readers which are just words or phrases. I like that it's set in verse since my preschooler learned about rhyming at school and it helps him figure out some words I think. This one also challenges some with words like freight and refrigerator. I will definitely be looking for more in this series. It was nice that there were 4 stories together too, so it felt a little like a chapter book about transportation.

The four stories -- Hello, School Bus; Hello, Fire Truck; Hello, Freight Train; and Little Red Caboose -- in this book features cute illustrations, most have rhyming text, and all have very simple storyline that introduces children to each of these vehicles.
