With illustrations full of charm and verve, this first pictorial encyclopedia of cars and trucks (and things that roll) draws inspiration from the 1974 classic, Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks and Things That Go, a favorite passed from father to son in the author / illustrator's household.
By contrast, 99 Cars and Trucks is a modest book for a new generation. Beneath the simple flashcard-like veneer are updates to stimulate discussion around concepts such as conservation, fossil fuel alternatives, and differing cultures' transportation adaptations. Like the classic, the hand-drawn illustrations infuse the machines with whimsy and character.
This title is also available in a high resolution .ibooks edition for iPad.
