review 1: EXCELLENT design, great selection (Yay LIBRARY!) of signs...I was a little surprised that the only one that was a "stretch" was "Quack;" I anticipated that more of the signs would be unusual but almost all of them can be seen on a day-to-day basis.Love the small but perfect expressions on the child in the backseat...a smile once the first sign is seen, then a sleepy face on the Z page. Love the "wrong way" sign on the back endpapers! And the road motif is a perfect conduit through the book.
review 2: The reason this is a 5 star book is because of the potential this book holds! Recently I went on a car trip with some friends and they had "car bingo" cards. On these cards we would check off when we saw various signs or things on the road. This made the trip go mu... morech faster because it gave us things to focus on and chat about. This book would be PERFECT if you left it in the car and adhered a post-it note to each page (Since writing in books is a big no-no.). Then as the child sees that sign they can put a tally mark on that pages post-it. How many stop signs have you seen? Wrong way signs? Great way to keep them busy and keep conversation going, as opposed to sticking them in front of a movie the entire time or their video games. less
