Written by Denise Dowling Mortensen, Published by Clarion Books, July 2007

From Booklist:

"The short, rhyming text reads aloud well, with just enough words to comment on the action and plenty of sounds for children to enjoy, from the "RUMBLE! ROOOAR!" of the school bus to the "BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" of the garbage truck. Vivid acrylic paintings fill the double-page spreads with moving vehicles, effectively contrasting with domestic scenes of the child at play."

"Morning traffic, motors hum." "HONK! HONK! TOOT!TOOT! BRMM! BRMM! BRMM!" "Flight 180 next in line. Forward throttle, turbo whine." "Down the runway, zooming fast. Nose up, lift off. VROOM! VROOM! BLAAAAST!"
