Cars and Trucks and Things That Go

by Richard Scarry
Golden Books, 1998 (reprint)
Many kids love books that are little more than lists of vehicles, but those books often put adults right to sleep. Here’s one that will make everyone happy. This Richard Scarry classic has been around for decades, and it has aged exceedingly well. Scarry’s expressive animals and quirky text are fun and engaging, and invented vehicles such as carrot cars and alligatormobiles share space with detailed drawings of roadwork machines and big rigs. Don’t forget to look for Goldbug on every page.
