A busy profusion of 100 small aircraft, trains, bikes, automobiles,
and ships zoom across eight cardboard fold-out pages in this
quasi-book product that also works as a six and a half-foot poster.
... Images are realistic in color and proportion with a fair amount
of detail, given their small size, and they are labeled by name and
year. ... The stacked layout provides some interesting views of
varied modes of transport sharing approximate time periods. ...
This unique book could appeal to some children fond of car, plane,
and ship models and might be of interest to libraries collecting
fold-out or other toy books
—School Library Journal
[A] visual feast, this six-and-a-half-foot fold-out book features
100 images of the things that have moved us, from bicycles to
trains to cars and ships. I could spend a day poring over the
designs, marveling at the ingenuity and craftsmanship that brought
each of these vehicles to life. Hopefully your kids will too.
