''Cars and Trucks and Things That Go'' is a book where every page needs to be studied to absorb the wild array of contraptions. Though the narrative is thin, interested children will pass many a happy hour poring over the detailed drawings. As if there is not already enough to take in, a small gold bug is introduced at the start. In a precursor to ''Where’s Wally?'' this little fella is to be found hiding in and around the vehicles on every page. The story may well be slight but there is still a lot of fun in the Loony Tune-esque humour. Road rage, criminality and nasty pile ups abound. Pa pig gets a bad case of sunburn, bursts a tyre on split nails and blunders on to an airport runway. Phew. It’s enough to convince you to stay at home with a good book, with or without designer jacket.
Whilst 5-9 year olds will love the Paul Smith edition of ‘Cars and Trucks and Things That Go’, younger vehicle lovers may prefer the calm illustrations and simple narrative of [[The Life of a Car by Susan StegallSteggall]].
