Illustrated by
Alex Ayliffe.
Things-that-go fans will be thrilled with this vividly illustrated ABC book that describes the various functions of each machine. From an ambulance and bulldozer to a yacht and "zooming rocket," each vehicle gets an energetic, sometimes-rhyming quatrain with read-aloud-ready sound effects: "Shiny red fire engine / dash, dash, dashing. / Nee-nar! Nee-nar! / Bright lights flashing."
