On the Go
Tad Carpenter. Sterling, $7.95 (16p) ISBN 978-1-4549-1225-5
Carpenter kicks off the Who’s That? series, asking readers to identify the pilots of six vehicles. In addition to learning about these drivers, children will pick up several verbs: “Who’s that?” Carpenter asks. “She sails on water, cruises under the stars, and drops anchor to stop.” Lifting a large flap (shaped like a rocky outcropping with two seals on top) reveals the captain standing proudly on the deck of her sailboat. Dominated by greens, golds, and purples, Carpenter’s cartoons give off a spiffy retro vibe. As readers meet a bicycle rider, race-car driver, and others, an array of pedestrians, motorists, and animals create additional diversions. Up to age 3. (June)
