This engaging board book is an early-learning introduction to things that go, from cars and trucks on the road to boats on the water, and features interactive text and sliders.

This interactive, sturdy board book is designed to promote early language skills and fine motor skills. Children can slide the sliders across the pages to explore a variety of things that go. Cars, trucks, and buses are spotted on the road; and airplane and helicopter soar through the skies; and boats splash through the water. Simple questions keep readers engaged and learning fun facts about the vehicles that travel on the road, in the sky, and in the water. An exciting early-learning experience!

Aimed at introducing little ones to some new vocabulary, this slide-tab board book focuses on three areas: vehicles on the road, in the air, and on the water.

Cute and amusing but may not have a long shelf life. (Board book. 1-3) --Kirkus Reviews
PreS-K–Cheerful spreads might show objects out of context—sailboat, submarine, speedboat—under the heading “On the Water,” and then the opposite page shows merry animal friends using those boats, in this case. Sliding panels reveal aspects or words about what readers see: the “splash” of the speedboat, or the submarine submerged. Other pages have straight questions and answers. VERDICT Energetic point and play, this book will entertain lap sitters and give them early training in vocabulary.
