PS
In this appealingly simple book, each double-page spread shows a different animal in command of a different vehicle, with a two-word explanation: e.g., "Blimp Chimp," "Boat Goat." Although young listeners may need an explanation for some slang ("Rig Pig," "Hog Frog"), they will delight in the absurdity of the clean, colorful illustrations and in repeating the rhyming words.
