Richard Scary has been delighting and motivating readers with a variety of his books. Cars and Trucks and Things that go is rich in vocabulary and illustrations. Young boys have been motivated by this particular selection for many years. Read this with young boys on a regular basis and soon they'll be chiming in, predicting the text and reading on their own. The zany humor throughout the book will hook young males into reading. The pigs are off to the beach for a picnic but Dingo Dog is around and he is driving terribly! Officer Flossy is going to give him a ticket — if she can catch him! Then you're it's off to a mad chase involving cars, planes, boats and even diggers.
