Two shaped board books from Petr Horácek are now available in dual Spanish-English editions – perfect for little ones who love things that go. When a family piles into a bright yellow car to drive to Grandma’s house, they go broom, broom through the town, vroom, vroom along the highway, and chug, chug over the crosswalk. Getting there is almost as exciting as the welcome that awaits at the end – and bright pictures and playful sound words make this a trip to enjoy.
