PS
Big, bold type accompanies big, bold pictures showing Barton's chunky Playskool-style Sam with blue baseball cap. On his way to work, Sam cleans his red car, gives it gas, and points out all its parts. The details are spot-on, neither overcomplicated nor simplistic. The simple, child-friendly book, ideal for group read-alouds, takes a little twist at the end: Sam is a bus driver. Vehicle-obsessed toddlers will line up for a ride.
