Review
"...big, swooshing street sweeper; the taxi with
screeching brakes; the busy police car; the frowning bus. The angry
traffic standoffs and the small truck's triumph will be welcome fuel for
many preschoolers' imaginative play." Booklist
Review
"It's in the fusion of the
old-fashioned with the modern-eclectic — one man in the crowd listens to
an iPod — that the book's artistry shines." Publisher's Weekly
Review
"Readers truly get a sense of movement — the back
ends of the vehicles are a streaky blur, while their exhaust pipes spew
smoke and the street sweeper fills the page with dust clouds." Kirkus Reviews
