(3) PS All About Sounds series. Some of the easiest sounds for toddlers to reproduce are onomatopoeic. Here youngsters can recite the s­ignature sounds of emergency vehicles, ­including a police motorcycle's "Woo Woo," a tow truck's "Vroom," and an ­ambulance's "Waa Waa." There is just enough narrative ­describing a (tame) accident, dramatized by Garcia's bright, chunky vehicles ­sporting googly eyes. For more ­onomatopoeia, this time with a musical bent, try Let's Make Music (Knopf) from the All Are Welcome series by Alexendra Penfold, illustrated by Suzanne Kaufman, and for more transportation fun, try Firefighters (Flowerpot) ­from the Finn's Fun Trucks series by Finn Coyle, illustrated by Srimalie Bassini.
