About the author

Sam Taplin grew up in a beautiful valley in Yorkshire, where he dreamed of being a writer, and after three years reading other people's books at university he started writing his own. He's been doing it ever since. When he's not writing about lonely rabbits or inquisitive bears, he likes doing card tricks, writing songs and playing long games of chess by the fire.

Reviews

[Portable]

This is a fabulous, sturdy book that provides great stimulus for talk - it really is a thousand things that go! Detailed pictures of so many kinds of vehicles, divided up into sections. The board pages mean this book will stand up to repeated readings by the most enthusiastic of little fingers.

[Ash]

This is a very popular book for our toddler boys.

[Tina]

Brilliant book for both adults and children; because there are some vehicles that even I didn't know the names of and as a writer it is a very valuable resource.

[Hailey White]

We own this book, pick it up often, and enjoy discussions that come about because of it. A must have for those with young boys.

[E & E’s Mama]

Elliot borrowed this from a friend. He enjoyed searching the enormous selection of vehicles, searching for ones he’s interested in (airplanes and construction trucks)
