School Library Journal Review

PreS-Gr 1--Filled with colorful photos and supported with simple text ideal for evolving readers, this series has all the makings of a circle and storytime favorite. The vivid, glossy photos support the text, offering helpful contextual clues to the unfamiliar words. They include simplified descriptions of all kinds of different vehicles, with plenty of examples of the various ways each can look, like cruise ships, icebreakers, and aircraft carriers, so readers understand that the same word can be attached to more than one object. While it's easier to see the motion of a gigantic icebreaker smashing through frozen seas, the many included photos of various types of planes, trucks, and cars all manage to maintain a sense of motion and speed. A photo glossary and teacher/caregiver support at the end of each makes them an exemplary first reader series. VERDICT A well-done first purchase series.
