This companion to Ljungkvist's Search and Spot: Animals! offers transportation-themed challenges for picture-puzzle fanatics. Single pages and spreads are packed with similar-looking (at first glance) vehicles or related objects; readers are charged with finding certain items amidst the busy, carefully composed pages. The stylish retro design is inviting and even soothing. The final page presents a new challenge and lists a website with answer keys.

K-Gr 3 This latest in the series of seek-and-find visual puzzle books doesn't disappoint. Over a series of single pages and spreads, readers are encouraged to pore over clean, colorful illustrations of a variety of modes of transportation to find specific vehicles. The puzzles cover all means of transportfrom cars, bikes, and buses to boats, hot-air balloons, and planes to emergency and construction vehicles of every ilk. Ljungkvist's detailed illustrations ensure that this won't be just a read-once-and-move-on kind of title. Even after repeated readings, there are plenty of vehicles and clever details to fuel many a conversation about the pictures. VERDICT This is a great purchase to engage lovers of things that go as well as fans of seek-and-find materialsboth perennial audiences in libraries.— Amy Koester, Skokie Public Library, IL
A vibrant and playful seek-and-find picture book by the acclaimed Swedish artist and designer Laura Ljungkvist, in which the reader uncovers cars, trucks, and all kinds of things that go hidden in a dazzling array of patterns and colors. The artwork, inspired by a European aesthetic, gives this work a simple but sophisticated look that appeals to both children and adults. Things to find are cleverly concealed as each page provides a new challenge for the reader to discover. An artful and unique book for children who love Where’?s Waldo and Walter Wick.
