It does not go into depths in regards to all above, but has hundreds of pictures and as we all know, the pictures are the things which will easier catch kids attention rather than dozens of text lines.It's a perfect book for a young child or rather young child and a parent. In my opinion teenagers and adults will definitely have a look at it and enjoy it too, no doubt, but will not find it so engaging in the longer run.Please have a look at the real photos attached.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in vehicles, regardless of age, although especially children will be enjoying it the most and for the longest time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect. Just what I was expecting.

This is a lovely book that I bought for my young nephew who is a very keen learner and is crazy about anything transport related. When it arrived I found myself spending too much time browsing myself before giving it to him, so a great book for both adults and kids! Great images and very easy to understand explanations annotating the images. Very happy :)

Bought for my vehicle loving 5 year old. I'll know he'll treasure it for a long time. His dad has an eye on it as well! Recommend and it's making me consider others in the seriesEdited to add: He three his arms round me in excitement to receive this, and has taken it to every relative's house we have visited. Each section starts from the oldest of a vehicle type working up to modern day models. Treasured as expected, definitely recommend for a vehicle lover

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a good visual book for kids interested in planes

B. · 15 May 2017

This is a good visual book for kids interested in planes, trains and things. There isn't much explanation but lots of pictures, which you can talk about. I found my 4 year old boy, who doesn't like reading practice much, showed interest in reading the words as he wanted to know what each plane or car was etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good for kids

S. · 17 September 2018

This was bought as a surprise and when it was received they were over the moon. The illustrations are colourful and pages thick and informative and kids enjoy it. Its great for bookcases and last a while for educational needs. Its hardback and wipable so easy to keep clean. Would be a great gift even after it has outgrown its purpose the 1st time. Great for any kid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book

My son has taken this book out the library so many times that I decided to get it for him, for Christmas. He is now seven and still will spend a good amount of time looking at the various modes of transport. Excellent book - definitely recommended!

ほとんど毎日読んでいます。2歳の娘は、絵を眺めて楽しんでおり、私は英語の勉強も兼ねて日々見開き1ページ音読してから寝かしつけをするというルーティンができました。日本では見られない乗り物に、娘は興味津々でこれは！？これは！？と聞いてくるのですが一緒に見ている私たち親の方も興味をそそられます。いい買い物をしました(^-^)
