Review:
This is such a simple wee book, but appealed greatly to both my 2.5 year old and my husband! Each page consists of 4 animals walking towards a vehicle, with the line "Who's driving the..." - fire engine, limousine, jeep, etc. The animals each have a different costume on - a fire fighters uniform, a flash rich-lady's dress, a safari outfit, etc.
The first time we read this book, my 2.5 year old just pointed out his favourite animal on each page, but after he had shown him to look for the outfits, he was able to correctly "guess" (read: memorise!) who drove each vehicle. By the third or fourth time through this book, he was "reading it" himself - actually saying "Who's driving the fire engine? Elephant!"
Definitely a great book for young boys, and probably many girls as well.
My rating: 4.3 out of 5
