Vehicles

Xavier Deneux

This board book introduces a different vehicle type on each spread. Bright, sturdy raised shapes are fixed to the pages, with matching recessed outlines opposite them so the forms meet when the book is closed. Groups of words identify parts and actions associated with each vehicle. A train page, for instance, names railroad elements and motion words alongside the vehicle. The format combines labels with physical shapes for exploring vehicles.

Cover of Hoot Owl: Master of DisguiseHoot Owl: Master of DisguiseSean TaylorHoot Owl sets out at night to find dinner, relying on increasingly elaborate disguises. He dresses as a carrot to approach a rabbit and as an ornamental birdbath to try to catch a pigeon, but neither plan works. Undeterred by these failures, he continues to invent costumes and speaks grandly about his nighttime pursuits. His final disguise is a chef’s outfit, complete with a penciled mustache, and it helps him secure an inanimate pepperoni pizza instead of prey.Under FiveLexile Text Measure 348LATOS Book Level 2.5On the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
