Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
This is a really great book for young kids. So far, it's held the interest of my 5 1/2 year old, 3 1/2 year old, and 1 1/2 year old, and been fine for me to read to them as an adult and not get bored. The book is a series of landscapes with different vehicles in each scene ranging from chariots, to skateboards, to trains, to hot air balloon, to boats, etc. 80 different ways to go. (I didn't count them, but there are plenty.) Each has a couple of sentences about the vehicle / transportation device. A definite strength of these books over other little kid books about vehicles is that this one has a huge range of vehicles. It isn't just different kinds of cars - it's all kinds of transportation. Pictures are great and have a good amount of detail. Style is simple, realistic, and colorful. The product description down on the Amazon page has some pictures of the two page spreads of outdoor scenes from the book, and from those you can see that a lot is going on on each page. Full size in the book, the level of detail is good for clearly showing the vehicles and for having lots more to notice if you care to. As far as age range, this is perfect for the 3 1/2 year old. He can point and ask questions about things and is very interested in the few sentence facts about what he's seeing. For the 5 1/2 year old, I think he's in a weird place because he can read simple books with repetitive words, so he's reading on his own not just being read to. But, he's not quite to where he can read this - the words are more complicated, which is great for building kids vocabularies when you read to them, but not a match for where he's at with being able to read independently. He just finished kindergarten, and I'd assume when he's further along like towards the end of 1st grade, that this will be a good match for where he's at with reading to himself. He's still into the book, just I'm not reading to him as much and he likes comic books more for reading pictures. For the 1 1/2 year old, she likes being read to, and is starting to get where she will focus on a single page for a longer time. This book can go younger, because instead of a story, it's many small descriptions of vehicles, so the child can point at things and you talk about that, and if they flip several pages early, that's not a problem. Recommended age range is listed as 4 to 8 years. That seems accurate but maybe a little flexible to a wider range. This is a really great book for very small toddlers up to probably around the middle of elementary school. For me reading as an adult, the book also has to be fine for me, since it's for an age range where I would read it aloud to kids. If kids end up liking a book, and that book is not fine for parents to read, then that's a painful. This Around the World in 80 Ways is fine for me to read. It has good pics and lots of variety, and some of the transportation devices are rare enough that it's kind of interesting. Husband and grandparents seemed to appreciate it as well. Overall, this is a really great book and good value for the age range.

This book is not traditional in that it doesn't have a plot--it's more a child's reference book on types of transportation used around the world and throughout history. Every two page spread is a full illustration and the types of transportation are numbered with a short description of the type of transportation. There isn't much organization to the book, really. It starts with ancient forms of transportation--dugout canoes, chariots, horses--and then progresses through steam trains, stagecoaches, and litters, but then jumps to a few spreads of sporty transportation (go karts, bicycles, surfboards, kiteboards) and then goes back to a modern city scene with buses, trams, trains, taxis, double decker buses, and subways. There is a general theme to each spread, though nothing explicitly stated--there are no titles or anything on the spreads, but the picture itself tells a story--whether it's transportation in Venice, or in snowy climates. There are a couple of spreads with just one form of transportation and then there are long pieces about them (hot air balloons and camels, for example). Generally, I like this book. I got it for my almost 4 year old who like all forms of transportation. He can't read yet, but he likes looking at the pictures In general the text about each item is enough to be informative but not too much to make them lose interest. It would also be good for beginning readers as it's not very complicated.

It's a cute book that is somewhat educational. There is no story to it, it is a bunch of cheerfully drawn scenes with facts about the various modes of transportation in each scene. I wish more of the facts were educational. Some are, the car page, space page, and hot air balloon pages are great, others less so "Motorcycle: there are many different motorcycles, including sports bikes for fast riding, touring bikes for long journeys, and dirt bikes for off-road adventures. Shiny choppers with extra-long forks just look so cool!" I don't know who the intended audience is. My 2 year old (who loves most forms of transportation) loves the colorful ilustratione, but is bored by the text. My 5 year old has the attention span for the text, but it is mostly too simplistic for her. The drawings are fun, but some of the people look strange. The modes of transportation are all well drawn. Overall it's an enjoyable enough book, I am just struggling to figure out which age range it is best suited for. I wouldn't expect any child to enjoy the entire book, but for ages 6 and under they may get enough out of it to make it worthwhile.

Around the World in 80 Ways: The Fabulous Inventions that get us From Here to There By: DK and Katy Halford is visually fun and full of many facts! My preschooler is the proud recipient of this book. While my little one can't read on her own yet, she still very much enjoys browsing through the pages as well as having this book read to her. The visuals cover pages fully and there's a lot going on in each scene to keep one captivated. The 80 ways to travel that are included in the book are many! Examples include by unicycle, jet-pack, ride on scooter, moon buggy, husky dog sled, camel, train and many more. The back the book has an illustrated listing with title of what each are found in the book. Note there's no specific timeline or alphabetical listings. Howe-ever pages that are themed say in the snow how all the snow type rides listed so it is grouped somewhat. I was delighted to see a bit of history of when certain ways of travel become popular and education facts about such ways. I like the creative way the book was put together and the fact its more than just fun and colorful illustrations to look at. I am proud to have this book on my shelf and on the table for kids to enjoy at any given time Highly recommended!

Excellent exploration of Transportation with bright happy illustrations
Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
This is a pretty brilliant book for children who love cars and other vehicles but also is good at showing different periods in time, habitats and how different methods of transport have arisen to meet the challenges, available technology or needs of the situation or environment. Ranging from ancient forms of transport up to space travel it covers many different situations including up mountains, in parks, down rivers and across the sky. Each of the 80 forms of transport is accompanied by at least one short paragraph and a few such as Hot Air Balloons and Camels have a few paragraphs spread across a double page. The art is in a lovely clean style with graphic block colours and sweet smiling faces, it’s a happy joyful book to explore. This books is great for exploring transportation and habitat topics especially for when discussing adaptation to traverse the environment. My daughters have enjoyed looking through this, enjoying repeating facts she has discovered and my youngest with us naming and building her vocabulary. This would make a fabulous addition particularly to school libraries and KS1 primary classrooms

Nice idea, somewhat average execution
Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
I don’t know why kids seem to love vehicles so much- I’m sure there’s some complex developmental reason identified by child psychologists, maybe- but kids love vroooooms and engines and pretending to be planes. This book is a nice way to get them to stop running around the room making ‘nee-naw’ noises and sit down and think about some of the vary varied ways there are to move around. Generally each method of movement gets a short paragraph of ‘an interesting fact’ after it, many of which kids might not already know. There’s a wide variety, and it’s not all powered vehicles- there’s snowboards and rollerblades and ride-on scooters, for example. You do start to feel that in order to get up to the 80 they needed to make the clever book title work, there are a few close duplicates in there- rowing boats and kayaks *and* dugout boats seems to be milking it somewhat, and after the motor car has understandably had a page all to itself, having a separate entry for both ‘police car’ and ‘taxi’ does seem a little tenuous- they’re both still cars! Although at least there’s more text for each one to give children something else to think about. There’s some good themed pages, such as the snow page (where one of our youngest was very confused to discover that Santa is not the only person who gets around in a sleigh), or the space page where you get a bit of Saturn V history and the trivia that three Lunar Roving Vehicles got left behind on the moon. Some of the methods are very everyday, but others are more novel, such as a Segway (sorry, “self-balancing scooter”) and the vaporetto. Curiously, camels and elephants get their own entries but horses don’t get a look in. The illustrative style is fairly sweet and simple and generic, getting the idea across without adding all that much extra value or character to it, making it feel a bit more like a schoolbook than a bedtime reading affair. As with most DK books the print quality and binding are all very reliable and nice quality. Not quite as brilliant as it could have been perhaps, but another reliable food-for-thought kids book from DK, and one which should spark a few conversations in engaged households- even if it is “why did ‘car’ and ‘police car’ get separate entries?” and “why didn’t they put horses in?”.

“Around the world in 80 ways” is a quick run through 80 “fabulous ways to get from here to there” with artwork to accompany it. It starts with the dugout boat and goes right through to moon buggy with plenty in-between, although walking is not deemed fabulous enough to feature. The 80 entries typically feature an informative paragraph about the mode of getting around. For example I was watching Thomas the Tank Engine the other day with my 4-year-old son and we were talking about why Thomas needs water and coal (his tank had run dry). If we’d read this book first we’d have known that a “steam train burns coal to heat water and create the steam that powers the
