(2) PS Illustrated by Mick Wiggins. This companion to Trucks Roll! (and others) introduces trains' characteristics and typical journeys. Rhythmic, rhyming text smoothly incorporates terminology and technical details, while an energetic refrain--"Steam engine, / gas engine, / electric engine too. / Chooka-chooka! Vroom zoom! / Hssss! Whoo-oo-whoo!"--provides kid-pleasing opportunities for participation. Wiggins's posterlike digital illustrations of city scenes, dramatic natural landscapes, and in-station vignettes reward close observation with a few fantastical surprises.

(2) PS Illustrated by Mick Wiggins. This companion to Trucks Roll! and Planes Fly! introduces children to tugboats, sailboats, canoes, steamboats, and more. The buoyant rhymes are factually informative--packed as they are with maritime terminology--and giddily unpredictable. Some lines play up poetic imagery; others are child-pleasingly jocular or mind-expanding. The digital, sun-bathed illustrations have the look of vintage European travel posters.

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Mick Wiggins. Lyon packs an impressive dose of aeronautical vocabulary into her succinct survey of "bi-planes / tri-planes / gotta-love-the-sky planes..." Segueing into planes' uses and "your" possible journey, Lyon hints at science ("air holds you") and outlines an experience that Wiggins brings to life using sweeping spreads, saturated colors, and clear compositions. Strategic generalizations and wealth of significant detail add up to a winning introduction.
