Big Noisy Book of Vehicles

by Ronne Randall

Vroom-vroom, screech, swoosh, whirr, honk! Pay attention, because an array of bright, bold, and beautiful vehicles is coming your way. Popular artist Britta Teckentrup ( Big Smelly Bear ) has designed a happy, lively world that’s jam-packed with cars, trucks, trains, buses, boats, and flying machines of all kinds. Each colorful spread features a different environment and the forms of transport that zip through it, from bicycles on the sidewalk to rockets in outer space.
As kids travel from city streets to the highway, from construction sites to the farm, they’ll love the eye-catching pictures of adorable animals on skates and skateboards, at the wheel of fire engines and tractors, filing onto a jumbo jet, or enjoying a cruise on a big ship. Plus, the text is simply irresistible to read aloud, with plenty of honks , clatter-clanks , and creak-squeaks to call out.
And making this package an animated (and easy-to-navigate) DVD packaged right into the front cover in a clear plastic case. It lasts a full fifteen minutes (most with a book last only five), has over 100 sound effects, and captures Britta’s subtle humor and childlike sense of play.

I love this whole series, and so does my son. And I love the calm, quiet, beautiful videos they come with (no words, so you can read the book along to the video if you like.) Cool.
