Choo-Choo School: All Aboard for the First Day of School

Choo-Choo School: All Aboard for the First Day of School
by Amy Krouse Rosenthal (Author) and Mike Yamada (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound

Booktalk: All aboard the train-car pool! A new lineup of students is off and rolling to Choo-Choo School. After reciting their classroom rules — Work hard, play fair, be kind — it’s time for some math to get the wheels turning. Then everyone’s ready to climb a hill in gym (it’s good to blow off steam), sing songs in music (Flat Car is a bit off-key), and learn the whole alphabet, especially the letter R.

Whose Big Rig? Board Book

Whose Big Rig? (A Guess-the-Job Book) Board Book
by Toni Buzzeo (Author) and Ramon Olivera (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound

Booktalk: This nonfiction board book features six kinds of specialized rigs used to construct a light-rail system–a tunnel borer, an excavator, a bulldozer, a tie dragon, a tamping machine, and a bucket truck–with five different parts of each rig properly labeled. The answer to each inquiring refrain of “Whose rig is this?” is revealed under a gatefold, engaging the reader in an informative guessing game about construction machines and their operators.
