Away We Go! by Rebecca Kai Dotlich, illustrated by Dan Yaccarino
Rating: 5 stars!
A friend of mine suggested we read more Dan Yaccarino books, so we checked out eight of them at the library. Overkill? Nah! This one isn't written by him; like our first book with his name on the cover (Trashy Town), he illustrated this one.
I LOVE IT! I am going to buy it for a few Christmas gifts. Wait, after some Googling I just realized that I can't find it new anywhere except here, used (and a new one that would put me back $140! It's good, but not that good). That's a bummer.
But it should be available at your local library, and it's really worth checking out for your little one. Lorelei likes it, but it is really better for Ben's age (2) or even younger. It has wonderfully bright, unambiguous pictures that we've looked at a dozen times already. It's just your basic transportation book, with a little guide on the back on how to use it to teach your child a few things in addition to the idea that you can go places by bike, horse, hot air balloon, etc.
