Funny characters, humorous pictures, and an eco-friendly message with a text just right for the newest kindergarten reader. "I like my bike. I like my car. I like my big car. I like my truck." The text in this book is simple and repetitive, but the pictures wacky and imaginative. A sea lion chauffeurs a large shark, while a cactus drives a canvas-covered pickup truck, and a tiny mouse drives tractor-trailer filled with cheese. All the vehicles, except for the bicycle, get stuck in traffic, as the girl merrily rides along to her destination--a birthday party. The pictures, in addition to supporting the text and providing surface level comprehension, are chock full of details that allow for (but don't insist upon) deeper comprehension. There are subtexts, connections, and opportunities for inference.
