Wheels: The Big Fun Book of Vehicles

No one knows exactly who invented the wheel, but in the inventive hands of illustrator Tom Schamp, young readers are invited on a joyful journey through all the ways wheels have rolled through history. From prehistoric carts to the cars of tomorrow, this big, exuberant book explores a world where everything has wheels—from the Trojan horse to the Harley-Davidson; from stagecoaches and steam trains to Vespas and Ferraris; from skateboards to electric scooters. Every spread of this deliriously entertaining and educational book is packed with Tom Schamp’s quirky, colorful illustrations. His sly, subtle text will make older readers smile, while younger readers will return again and again to these playfully crowded pages—discovering how emergency vehicles differ around the world, comparing buses of every imaginable size, and choosing which bike they’d ride to win a race. Each visit reveals new, charming details that are as absurdly funny as they are rewarding to discover.
