Synopsis
The Mini House Book(tm) popped a wheelie! Four wheels, in fact. Announcing Mini Wheels Books, a new series of irresistible die-cut board-books-as-vehicles from Peter Lippman, creator of the Mini House Book series, with over 2.2 million copies in print. Chunky, colorful, and lively, with doors that open and windows to explore, packed with adorable characters and rhyming action-and made fully mobile through the addition of real working wheels-each Mini Wheels Book is a delightful ride through the reader's imagination.
Join the crew on the Mini Fire Truck, name all its forever fascinating paraphernalia, work with the equipment-and rush off to the fire, where the firehouse dog makes a heroic save.
It's all the fun of reading, on the go.
Children's Literature
The School Bus is both a toy and a book. It has plastic wheels and a latch that opens. The bunnies invite kids to hop aboard. While on the ride there are lessons to be learned. First it is counting from 1 to 10, then it is a bit of math. The next lesson explains what the red, green and yellow lights on a traffic signal mean, next it is shapes, followed by the alphabet and then arrival at school. These bus riders have already packed in some real learning before they even enter the front door of the school. It is a mixed bag, some of which is appropriate for preschoolers and some that is beyond. The book is sturdy and will hold up for many rides. 2001, Workman, $9.95. Ages 3 to 5.
