review 1: A young boy and girl encounter various forms of transportation or construction vehicles. The little girl asks how each vehicle works, the little boy thinks about it and the next page reveals how it works. Sort of. Readers will encounter a lion driving a truck, a flock of chickens flying an airplane and many other ridiculous answers to how something works.Finally the young girl exclaims she knows how a bicycle works and demonstrates how... the correct way.A humorous tale great for one-on-one reading.
review 2: A little girl asks a boy how different vehicles/machines work, and he gives her explanations based on animals inside the machines. For example, a boat works because there's a whale and an octopus inside, powering it. A digger works because one animal (I ca... moren't remember which one) is holding an alligator by the tail, and the alligator is biting the ground. An airplane is powered by a half-dozen birds flying around inside. What about a bicycle? How does that work? Well, of course, it's powered by a little girl who climbs on it and pedals away! And that's the joke at the end, which I think can be seen coming about a football field away, even by little kids. I had seen positive reviews, so I was expecting more. I just wasn't impressed at all. less
