The Way Downtown: Adventures in Public Transit

48 pp. | Kids Can | October, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-77138-552-7 $17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Lowery. This picture book introduces modern public transit through five intersecting journeys in Zoom, a fictional city served by subway, light rail, buses, ferries, a bike share, and an airport. While the text explains characters' travel options and plans, the illustrations and thought- and speech-bubbles flesh out the story lines and add humor. Lowery's comic illustrations create a bustling atmosphere perfect for multiple perusals.
