Hazel Rochman (Booklist, November 1, 1995 (Vol. 92, No. 5))
"Bright, clear color photographs show people on wheels, and a brief descriptive text makes you look closely at how wheeled vehicles work. The pictures portray a huge garbage truck, a fire truck, a girl coaxing a horse into a trailer, two kids racing to an ice-cream truck, a tractor trailer packed with cars, a boy in a wheelchair in the woods, a mail truck, etc. Occasionally, the page design is crowded with a combination of photos that may be confusing for the youngest kids, but generally there's one big, bold photo per page. All those eager vehicle-watchers will love the action of how wheels help to fix and build, deliver and pull, and take us to places where we need to go." ( )
